aLog-phase growth doubling time.

bAbundance of oriC relative to ter, and dnaA relative to xasA, as determined by Southern blot analysis.

cBased on immunoblots in Fig 3. Only experimental values (n=3–5) that fell within the range of the corresponding DnaA standard curves were used for further calculations.

DnaA content was calculated as DnaA/total protein and all values were normalized to the value for wild-type cells (MG1655), which was given an arbitrary value of 1.00.
