Recent studies showed even isogenic populations of exponentially growing microorganisms carrying substantial cell-to-cell
heterogeneities at both cellular and molecular levels that are an order of magnitude greater than previously thought. It is
increasingly recognized that by using averaged molecular or phenotypic measurements of a whole population for describing
cell behaviors, conclusions could be biased as the unique patterns related to specific or distinct functional sub-populations
cannot be revealed. Recent progress in developing single-cell based technologies for gene expression analysis in single cells,
including the first bacterial single-cell RNA-seq method for the whole transcriptome of single cyanobacterium cells which
contain 5~7 femtogram total RNA per cell will be reported. The results provided evidences for significant gene-expression
heterogeneity between single cells, and that the heterogeneity seems affected by the environmental stress conditions.
