P.582 right column bottom paragraph: "Shape changes with doubling time: The study of cell dimensions at different steady-state growth conditions, which has proved fruitful before (refs 7, 10, 17-20, 32, 33, 35, 40), was exploited again, and the same strains were cultivated in glucose-Casamino Acids-supplemented Medium to obtain shorter τ. Steady-state conditions could be reached only when deoxyguanosine was added (ref 38), and the cells looked as shown in Fig.3. Further experiments are summarized in Table 1. The most striking observation was the decrease in the average length of the Rep- cell compared to that in glucose minimal medium." Table gives diameter and length of E. coli cells for different C period (time to replicate chromosome) and generation time. Cell diameter range 0.68-1.04 µm. Length range 2.62-4.00 µm.
