Fig. 17 — Life attributes variability per generation. Gamma distributions (best fit) of (a) the cells division time T, (b) the cell elongation rate k, and (c) the cell length at division l _f for the 3^rd to the 8^th generation of cells of the SalPhase movie (cells from all colonies pooled). By delving into each generation’s individuals we can characterize a life attribute's intra and inter-generation variability (stochasticity). Similar analysis can be performed for any life attribute available in the database after image analysis using BaSCA
