OD (culture age) | Cell-wall thicknessa | Septum thicknessb | Non-bridge-linked stem%c |
---|---|---|---|
0.7 (3.5 h) | 28 nm | 40 nm | 0% |
2.0 (5.3 h) | 30 nm | 46 / 50e nm | 1% |
3.6 (8 h) | 32 nm | 56 / 78e nm | 6% |
4.0 (12 h) | 35 nm | 78 / 118e nm | 12% |
Values are the averages of 8–10 measurements on each of 25 cells for each OD value, with standard deviations of 3–4 nm;
Values are the averages of 15 septa for each OD value with 2–6 measurements across the septum;
Percentage of non-bridge-linked stems with ±2% standard deviation based on three independent experiments.
