Figure 3

Plots of the observed average number of killed cells Z¯K(N) (black line), the approximate average number of killed cells Z˜K(N) (green line), and the estimate of the average number of killed cells Z^K(N) (blue line) depending on the number of restriction sites N. 103 simulations were made for τ = 0.5 for K = 103 bacterial cells. The approximate formula (3) works well for λM, λR ≥ 5 and α = λRM ≤ 1.
