False color time-lapse video of E. coli colony growing on microscope slide. See the source for detailed growth conditions.
Technical: Adapted from <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.0030045.sv001">https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.0030045.sv001</a> . Added approximate scale bar based on the approximate length of 2.0 μm of E. coli bacteria. The original video is comprised of 114 frames, the first 40 taken at 4min intervals, the remaining 74 taken at 2min intervals. For this animation the first 40 frames were duplicated to 80 frames making the total frame count 154 and the framerate a constant 1 frame per 2 minutes.
