Figure 9From: Evidence for a bimodal distribution of Escherichia coli doubling times below a threshold initial cell concentrationTypical t m results showing its relationship (Eq. 5) with solution dilution factors (Φ) on both linear and semi-log scales. The |slope| of the line shown in the inset figure is equal to Φ (= 0.286 hrs or 17.2 min). The parameter tm was calculated by fitting OD[t] data to Eq. 1.Back to article page
