From: Artificial modulation of cell width significantly affects the division time of Escherichia coli
Cell width regulation affects the population division rate δ and death rate θ. (a) The population division rate δ and death rate θ for cells growing in straight channels. The black and red solid lines refer to the exponential fits of δ (R2 = 0.99) and θ (R2 = 0.93). The inset is the correlation between lnθ and lnδ. (b) The population division rate δ and death rate θ for cells growing in ‘necked’ channels. The black and red solid lines refer to the exponential fits of δ (R2 = 0.98) and θ (R2 = 0.97). The inset is the correlation between lnθ and lnδ.
