a Microbial growth at different temperatures. mCFU: microscale colony forming unit. Data acquired from a single movie of bacteria growing within a temperature gradient (movie M3). b Same as (a) in a semi-log scale. c Growth rate \(\tau\) and generation time \(g\) calculated from the linear regressions of (b). Horizontal error bar: temperature range over which the mCFU expanded over the field of view during growth. Vertical error bar: root mean square errors of the linear regressions.
