a Optical density at 600 nm plotted as a function of time for growth in the orbital shaker and knife edge viscometer. b Growth data for orbital shaker cases. c Growth data for knife edge viscometer cases. Lines in (b) and (c) represent three-parameter logistic equation fits. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
