Fig. 7

Comparison of removable *Pi from live cells of the three Synechococcus strains incubated for 1 h and washed with artificial seawater (grey bars), deionized water (white bars) and phosphate-buffered saline (turquoise bars) vs. PFA-fixed cellular macromolecules (red bars) and TCA-precipitated nucleic acids (blue bars). The plot shows the results of a representative experiment. Bars present mean values of technical duplicates indicated as crosses. Horizontal grey lines indicate major ticks of the Y-axis to assist comparisons. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
