Figure 5

Analysis of correlation of the position of foci along the cell length with that along the cell diameter. Graphs show the positions of foci of four loci in wt and Ndd-treated cells, as indicated in each panel, along the cell diameter (Y-axis) as a function of their position along the cell length (X-axis). The grey dots are individual foci. The red dots are sliding means of twenty adjacent foci (with a step of one focus). For the ori, right and NS-right loci in Ndd-untreated cells and for the ori and ter loci in Ndd-treated cells, the data from the different cell classes were combined, as these dataset do not statistically differ (see Figure 2). In the case of the ter locus in Ndd-untreated cells, only the data from cells with a single focus are plotted. The dotted lines show the mean position of foci calculated from the 90% central model.
