Characteristic generation time in rich medium
| Range | ~100 minutes |

| Comments | "Comparison of the size of the genome (1.4×10^7 bp) with the RNA in a ribosome (5469 nucleotides) shows that there are nearly 200,000 ribosomes per cell (Fig. 1a). With a generation time of ~100 min, the cell must produce 2000 ribosomes per min." Can reach ~70 minutes under ideal conditions (see BNID 101747). For 99 min see BNID 101310. See BNID 104 360 |
