.... Lambert and Kussell collected data from 18 different populations grown in this setup and calculated the average reproductive ability of the cells as a function of their age after 25 cycles of antibiotic treatment. In each population, they also selected a single lineage that survived the 25 cycles of antibiotic treatment and calculated the age distribution in the lineages (Fig. 2). This distribution was then used to infer the reproductive ability of the cell as a function of its age following the theory of Kussell et al. [3]. The authors show that the reproductive functions calculated from all the individuals in the population and from a single lineage have an excellent degree of overlap....
