A distinct growth physiology enhances bacterial growth under rapid nutrient fluctuations

Here the authors use microfluidics and single-cell microscopy to quantify the growth dynamics of individual E. coli cells exposed to nutrient fluctuations with periods as short as 30 seconds, finding that nutrient fluctuations reduce growth rates up to 50% compared to a steady nutrient delivery of e...
