P.335 left column bottom paragraph: "Bacillus subtilis cells growing in rich medium are approximately twice the length of cells cultured under nutrient-poor conditions (primary source). Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium also exhibit similar growth-rate-dependent changes in cell size (Donachie and Begg, 1989, Schaechter et al., 1958). Cell size stabilizes, however, under slow growth conditions. When the time it takes for cells to double in mass increases beyond a certain threshold (∼60 min for B. subtilis), cell size becomes essentially constant (primary source)." |
