"The interior of a bacterial cell is an environment crowded
with a heterogeneous collection of macromolecules. In E. coli,
the concentrations of protein, RNA, and DNA are 200 to 320
mg/ml, 75 to 120 mg/ml, and 11 to 18 mg/ml, respectively (primary sources)." Primary source Cayley et al. 1991 abstract p.281 bottom paragraph:”Since ?cyto decreases with external osmolarity, the concentration of cytoplasmic protein increases from approximately 200 mg/ml in cells grown at 0.10 osm to approximately 320 mg/ml at 1.02 osm.” |
