All strains are descendants of E. coli K-12 HCB33 (RP437). In all FRET experiments, strains carry two plasmids and therefore confer resistance to chloramphenicol and ampicillin.

§RF1 terminates translation at UAG and UAA. Deletion of RF1 eliminates recognition of UAG during translation; translational termination continues through RF2, which recognizes UAA and UGA.

‘Aggregation’ was determined as ‘yes’ if the majority of cells (>~50%) were observed in clusters of more than five individual cells, and ‘no’ otherwise. Survival level was estimated as follows: ‘low’: almost no survival (<3% of cells); ‘medium’: survival of 3% to 50% of the cells; ‘high’:>50% of all cells survived.
