Purification / Growth Conditions / Treatment: C. crescentus was from Yi-Wei's cryo-stock and was grown in PYE medium overnight at 30°c 250 rpm. In the next days' morning, 1/20 subculture into the M2G medium. When OD600 reaches 0.48, 1ml medium was spun down and the resuspension was 100 ul for cryo-grid preparation.

Sample Preparation: Glow discharged Quantifoil R2/R holey carbon film. 4 ul concentrated gold suspension was added to 16 ul bacteria and mix before plunge freezing. Plunge freezing condition: 6(force)-2(duration time)-1(dry time). Tilt Series Setting: single tilt. constant angular increment, step: 1. tilt range: (-60, 60). dosage: 120/A2. defocus: -10um. magnification: 22500
