Phenotypic heterogeneity usually refers to phenotypic diversity that takes place throughnongenetic means, independently of environmental induced variation. Recent findings are changing howmicrobiologists analyze bacterial behavior, with a shift from traditional assays averaging large populations tosingle-cell analysis focusing on bacterial individual behavior. Fluorescence-based methods are often used toanalyze single-cell gene expression by flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy and/or microfluidics.Moreover, fluorescence reporters can also be used to establish where and when are the genes of interestexpressed. In this chapter, we use the model bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae to illustrate amethod to generate chromosome-located transcriptional gene fusions to fluorescent reporter genes,without affecting the function of the gene of interest.
