Damage dynamics and the role of chance in the timing of E. coli cell death

Damage dynamics and the role of chance in the timing of E. coli cell death

Abstract Genetically identical cells in the same stressful condition die at different times. The origin of this stochasticity is unclear; it may arise from different initial conditions that affect the time of demise, or from a stochastic damage accumulation mechanism that erases the initial conditio...
