^aSpot patterns were qualified using the ObjectJ qualification mode, (cf. Table 1B).

^bCells grown at 32°C; doubling time Td = ~150 min.

^cCells grown at 28°C (Td = 180 min) showing smaller cell lengths (see Materials and Methods).

^dThe data of three populations treated with rifampicin have been averaged (cf. Table 2).
