Abstract excerpt
Genetically identical bacterial cells commonly display different phenotypes. This phenotypic heterogeneity is well known for stress responses, where it is often explained as bet hedging against unpredictable environmental threats. Here, we explore phenotypic heterogeneity in a major stress response of Escherichia coli and find it has a fundamentally different basis. We characterize the response of cells exposed...
