> salt stress causes a delay in cell division, leading to synchronization of cell cycles; secondly, survival probability depends on the individual bacterial cell's position in the cell cycle at the time of the second exposure.
So basically you thwack all the cells with something that pushes their lifecycles towards a similar schedule, and then later-on they tend to all still be on the same cycle?
Isn't that like saying two pendulums in the same house have a "collective memory" of an earthquake?
