Figure 2. mRNA half-life distribution.

A. For transcripts for which stability values at each growth rate were available. B. For the 486 transcripts with half-lives values available for all three growth rates. The darker the histogram, the higher is the growth rate: black for µ = 0.80 h⁻¹, dark gray for µ = 0.51 h⁻¹ and light gray for µ = 0.11 h⁻¹. Half-lives are in reported in minutes. The lines are the rolling averages and thus represent the overall tendency of the data.
