Extended Data Fig. 2: The effect of succinate on cells in our Taylor-Aris dispersion experiments.
(a) Thin lines show the number of cell trajectories that were imaged in each of the six simultaneously imaged fields of view that were used in our Taylor-Aris dispersion experiments, whilst the thick lines show the mean. We observed that the number of cells increased gradually over the course of our approximately 3 h long experiments, regardless of whether cells were exposed to a decrease in succinate concentration over time (red lines) or to a constant concentration of succinate C = 1 mM in control experiments (black lines). (b) Cell speed remained approximately constant both in controls (black lines) and in cells exposed to decreasing succinate concentration (red lines). (c, d) Similar trends were observed for cells exposed to an increase (green lines) in succinate concentration over time when compared to their respective controls (black lines). The data shown here is representative of both bio-replicates. Source data provided as a Source Data file.
