FIG. 2.

Nucleoid positions of cells growing in the standard medium. (A) Positions of nucleoids are presented relative to position 0. The nucleoid position in a mononucleoid cell is indicated by a closed circle (n = 376). The nucleoid positions in a binucleoid cell are indicated by multiplication signs (n = 169). The average lengths of mono- and binucleoid cells are 1.18 and 1.80 μm with SDs of 0.22 and 0.32 μm, respectively. Nucleoids are positioned at the center with an SD of 0.11 and at 0.23 and 0.68 with SDs of 0.05 and 0.06 of cell length, respectively, in mono- and binucleoid cells. (B) Internucleoid distances in binucleoid cells are plotted against cell lengths (n = 169).
