Storage (G’; red) and loss (G”; blue) shear modulus of the bacterial active solid as a function of strain were measured by bulk rheometry with a cone-plate rheometer in shear-strain-amplitude sweep mode (at constant frequency) (Methods). The oscillation frequency and the temperature of the rheometer were set at 1 Hz and 37 °C, respectively. Data are presented as mean + /-S.D. (N = 3). The solid and dashed lines are guides to the eye.
