Metabolic fingerprinting of bacteria by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy

Abstract Bacterial populations exhibit a range of metabolic states influenced by their environment, intra- and interspecies interactions. The identification of bacterial metabolic states and transitions between them in their native environment promises to elucidate community behavior and stochastic...
