Method P.10 left column 3rd paragraph: "Cell growth was monitored spectrophotometrically by measurement of the optical density at 600 nm (OD600) and cell dry weight. The specific growth rate µ was calculated from the fitted OD600 values."
Comments P.10 left column 3rd paragraph: "One unit of OD600 corresponds to a cell dry weight of 0.3g/L." E.coli strain: K-12 strain W3110
