Regression of the calculated value of the oxygen isotope ratio of intracellular water as determined from the washing experiments versus the oxygen isotope ratio of the growth medium water. The slope of 0.29 indicates that 71% of the intracellular water was generated during metabolism, in agreement with the value calculated independently using the regression in Fig. 1.
