Both GFP variants were poorly expressed in the periplasm and resulted in growth defects and other markers of stress. We used super-resolution microscopy to visualise GFP localisation in cells and other single cell methods. The work was done by Alex Osgerby in my lab, funded by the BBSRC.

Not done a fellowship interview, but certainly most interviews I have done made me reflect on my life choices to date! (Hope it went OK)
