Changes in cell concentration and cell size. (A) Correlation between cell concentration and cell density. The saturated cell density calculated from optical measurement is plotted against the saturated cell concentration as measured by cell counter. (B) Correlations with changes in cell concentration. The saturated cell concentration is plotted against the length of accumulated deletions. (C) Correlations with changes in cell size. The mean cell size of the saturated population is plotted against the length of accumulated deletions. The cell size is represented by the diameter of the cell particle. Standard errors, correlation coefficients and statistical significance are indicated.
