Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-62044-5, published online 20 March 2020
The Editors have retracted this Article at the Corresponding Authors' request. After publication, concerns were raised regarding the images presented in Fig. 3, specifically:
• Fig. 3 Lean-E. coli 0 h, DIO-E. coli 24 and 72 h images appear to overlap;
• Fig. 3 Lean-E. coli 12 and 24 h images appear to overlap.
The Authors have been unable to provide the underlying raw data upon request. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the presented data.
All Authors agree to this retraction.
