C, time to replicate chromosome, in range depends on division rate. C=42 min for doubling time of 24 min. C=67 min for doubling time of 100 min. See note v under table. The seeming paradox of chromosome replication time being longer than doubling time is resolved by the observation that E. coli under ideal conditions employs nested replication forks that begin replicating the granddaughter cells while the daughter cells are still engaged in replication. Note in table that at doubling time between 60-100 min there should be a point where doubling time is about equal to chromosome replication time, yet they start at different points in time, as can be seen by the D period.
