Fig. 1: Relating bacterial growth to the genetic and environmental variations.
From: Data-driven discovery of the interplay between genetic and environmental factors in bacterial growth

A Study overview. Genetic (i) and environmental (ii) variations were achieved by an assortment of E. coli strains and synthetic media, respectively. A high-throughput growth assay was performed to acquire the bacterial growth profiles linked to the genetic and environmental diversity (iii). The maximum OD600 (K), highlighted in red, was designated as the saturated population density and used for the following data mining (iv). B Chemical concentration of synthetic media. Color variation indicates the categories of the 45 chemical components. Black dots indicate the experimentally tested concentrations. Concentrations are shown in the logarithmic scale, and zero is not indicated. C PCA of medium compositions. Two main PCs of all medium compositions used in the study are shown.
