Spatial analysis of the distance from the centre. a. Illustration of the spatial analysis of the distance from the centre. The closed circles and the broken lines indicate the colonies and the direct distance from the centre of the plate, respectively. b. Boxplot of the correlation coefficients between the distance from the centre and the colony size. Reg., Nutr. and Gen. indicate colony growth under regular conditions and in response to nutritional and genomic changes, respectively. The regular conditions and nutritional and genomic changes represent the wild-type strain growing on an LB agar plate, the wild-type strain growing on an M63 agar plate and the genome-reduced strain growing on an LB agar plate, respectively. The data used for the boxplot could be found in Table S1
