a Optical density measurements at 600 nm and b plate counting measurements. Uncertainty bars for the OD measurements correspond the standard deviation for the two set of experiments. Uncertainty bars for the CFU take into account both the standard deviation for the two set of experiments and the analytical error on the counting procedure. The R2 calculated by plotting the OD measurements versus the CFU measurements (data in SM) varies between 0.8 and 0.9.
