Fig. 1From: A decay effect of the growth rate associated with genome reduction in Escherichia coliLower estimated growth rate by means of optical turbidity. The differentiation in the growth rates were evaluated by the three methods. The mean growth rates repeatedly evaluated by means of the OD600 (blue), CFU and ATP (orange) are shown. The standard errors of biological replication are shown. Asterisks indicate statistical significance (P < 0.05)Back to article page
