FIG. 7.

Nucleoid numbers and positions in cells incubated with chloramphenicol. (A) Nucleoid numbers in a cell. The proportions of cells containing one, two, and three or more nucleoids are indicated by solid circles, open circles, and solid squares, respectively. More than 300 cells were examined at each time. (B) Nucleoid positions in cells incubated with chloramphenicol for 1.5 h. The positions of nucleoids are indicated relative to position 0. The positions in cells containing one, two, and three nucleoids are indicated by solid circles, multiplication signs, and solid squares, respectively (n = 143, 148, and 73, respectively).
