| Comments |
"Assuming
that each 70S ribosome has a volume of 3400nm3
(Zhu et al., 1997 PMID 9169230), the predicted 275 ribosomes occupy
approximately 5% of the cellular volume. [Researchers] did not
detect large volumes devoid of ribosomes in any of the
tomograms of
S. melliferum
[they] have recorded." |
