P.26 right column top paragraph: "For ribosomes (meaning the sum of 30S subunits and complete 70S ribosomes), the resulting estimated copy number ranges from ~30,000 to ~70,000 ribosomes per cell (42 cells, Fig. S6). The mean
number of ribosomes per cell is ~55,000. The ribosome copy number increases monotonically with cell volume." |
