Principal component plot representing correlations between cell morphology and survival variables under starvation for the ten T. thermophila strains. PC1S is linked to overall survival and elongation capabilities. PC2S represented the cell elongation strategy, opposing strains where all cells elongates similarly for a long time to strains where some cells elongate more than others, up to becoming dispersal morphs.
