Abstract excerpt
Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression and growth parameters was assessed in the facultative methylotroph Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. A transcriptional fusion between a well-characterized methylotrophy promoter (P(mxaF)) and gfp(uv) (encoding a variant of green fluorescent protein [GFPuv]) was used to assess single-cell gene expression. Using a flowthrough culture system and laser scanning microscopy,...
