Gen, generation time; Lag, lag phase; wt, response similar to wild type; >, lag phase greater than 2 times that of the wild type; ≫, lag phase greater than 5 times the wild-type value. Judgments of differences in generation times and lag phases were based on means ± standard deviations of at least three independent experiments.
