Residual amount of cytoplasmic water not removed by osmotic stress

Range ~0.4 μl/mg cell dry weight
Organism Bacteria Escherichia coli
Reference Cayley S, Record MT Jr. Large changes in cytoplasmic biopolymer concentration with osmolality indicate that macromolecular crowding may regulate protein-DNA interactions and growth rate in osmotically stressed Escherichia coli K-12. J Mol Recognit. 2004 Sep-Oct17(5):488-96. p.490 right column top paragraphPubMed ID15362109
Comments "In these titrations, the amount of cytoplasmic water varies linearly with the reciprocal of external osmolality the residual amount of cytoplasmic water not removed by osmotic stress (as 1/Osmcx?0) is 0.4 µl/mg cell dry weight, independent of osmolality from 0.03 Osm to at least 1 Osm (Fig. 2)."
