Fig. 1: Shortening the C and D periods of cell division by genetic manipulation.
From: Light-powered Escherichia coli cell division for chemical production
a, b Effect of shortening the C and D periods of cell division on cell division. c, d Effect of shortening the C and D periods of cell division on the specific surface area (SSA) and mean cell volume (MCV), respectively. e, f Confirming the morphological variations of all engineered strains by the filed emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The pink color of FESEM was highlighted. The original pictures were shrinked into the top right corner of the enlarged pictures. a, b The box plots define the minima, maxima, center, and bounds of box. e, f The scale bar is 5 μm. Significance (p-value) was evaluated by two-sided t-test compared to CT. a–d Values were shown as mean ± s.d. from three (n = 3) biological independent replicates. Information for each gene was provided in Supplementary Note 1. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
