Additional file 3: of Asymmetric cellular memory in bacteria exposed to antibiotics Roland Mathis Martin Ackermann 10.6084/m9.figshare.c.3712738_D3.v1 https://springernature.figshare.com/articles/figure/Additional_file_3_of_Asymmetric_cellular_memory_in_bacteria_exposed_to_antibiotics/4736884 For each cell, cell cycle position was estimated at the time-point when cells were exposed to the stress event (2000 µg/mL ampicillin for 1 h). Since the time period between warning and stress event exceeds the time to the first division of daughter cells, some of the daughter cells in our analysis had already divided. These daughter cells, while being daughters of mothers that had experienced the warning event, are staked cells that had already divided once. To correct for the cell cycle state we therefore needed to correct the daughter cells that had already divided differently from the daughter cells that had not yet divided. For the daughter cells that had not yet divided we used a cell-cycle position correction that accounted for their longer interdivision time (in our system the interdivision time of a cell that emerges as a swarmer and then stays in the microfluidic device is about 15–20 min longer than the interdivision time of the stalked cell cycle). The cells that had already divided were corrected the same way as the mother cells that were born before the warning event since their cell cycle timing is the same. For both types of cells, cell cycle position was approximated by the time that had passed since the last division. Figure S3. Survival of the stress event was dependent on cell cycle position. (A and B) For the number of cells that had already divided before (A) and cells that were in the process of dividing for the first time (B) cell cycle position at the time of onset of stress is depicted. (C and D) Survival per cell cycle position and cell type is shown in fractions and was modeled with a second-degree polynomial. For the model the filled bars in panel A and B were used (cell cycle position 5–70 for mother cells and 5–90 for daughter cells).
