| Comments | "The mean cell volume is not an exponential function of the growth rate. Rather, the relationship between mean cell volume and specific growth rate is empirically predicted by the following equation V=1.2k^4+0.49, in which V represents the mean cell volume in cubic micrometers and k represents the specific growth rate per hour." |
