Temporal changes in the correlation coefficients between the Voronoi area and colony size. a. Temporal changes in the mean colony size. b. Temporal changes in the correlation coefficients between the Voronoi area and colony size. The analyses were performed with an interval of 12 h. Standard errors, representing the variation among the plates for each condition, are indicated. 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 of the temporal changes used for the analysis was summarized in Table S2. c. Boxplot of the correlation coefficients between the Voronoi area and colony size. The open and shaded boxes indicate that the colonies of the other five different E. coli strains remained in the growing (1–2 days) and steady (1 week) phases, respectively. The crosses in the boxes represent the average correlation coefficients
