Table 2: Measured parameters of cell size regulation for C. glutamicum.

We present the mean size of the progenitor cell 〈s_b〉, its variability $C{V}_{s_b}^2$ the mean added size before division 〈Δ〉 and its variability $C{V}_{\Delta }^2$. The digit in parentheses represents the amount by which the least significant digit of the value is uncertain (95% confidence interval using bootstrap methods). For example, 0.1882(6) = (0.1882 ± 0.0006). 3345 cell cycles were studied.
