Slower growth of Escherichia coli leads to longer survival in carbon starvation due to a decrease in the maintenance rate
Abstract Fitness of bacteria is determined both by how fast cells grow when nutrients are abundant and by how well they survive when conditions worsen. Here, we study how prior growth conditions affect the death rate of Escherichia coli during carbon starvation. We control the growth rate prior to s...
