Inheritance of growth parameters under different carbon sources. (A) Conditional expectation of birth length, added length, exponential growth rate, and interdivision time for daughter cells (d) as a function of the corresponding growth parameter in the mother cell (m). Colors indicate different carbon sources: glycerol (red), acetate (blue), pyruvate (yellow). For all media, we observe a statistical dependence between birth lengths in mother and daughter cells consistent with the adder principle but no inheritance between added lengths. Interestingly, growth rate is inherited but not interdivision time. (B) In contrast, between sister cells added length and interdivision times are statistically dependent but not growth rate and interdivision times.
