| Comments |
"[Researchers'] dry mass results [203fg BNID 111210] are consistent with previous reported
measurements of the described single-cell or bulk methods. For
instance, two TEM-based studies found median E. coli dry masses
of 489 fg and 710 fg for exponentially growing cells and 179 fg
and 180 fg for stationary ones [primary sources]. [Researchers] report median masses of
725 fg and 179 fg, respectively, pooling technical replicates shown
in Figure 2." |
