Fig. 7From: Correlation between the spatial distribution and colony size was common for monogenetic bacteria in laboratory conditionsSchematic drawing of the colony localization-determined size variation. The fair distribution of spatial resource based on the colony size determined by chance was proposed. The initial localization of the colonies on the plate (left) determines the final sizes of the colonies (right), which occupy the space areas positively correlated with their final sizes (middle); however, the mechanisms underlying the fair distribution of the space are unclearBack to article page
