Estimation of growth rate using measurements from R/P ratio, fraction of rRNA in total RNA (rRNA frac.), elongation rates (kel) and fractions of different ribosomal species (ϕRcomplex and ϕRbound). All values are mean values. R/P ratio values are derived from three technical replicates and the rest of the parameters are from three biological replicates with the s.e.m. shown. The propagated error is shown for growth rate estimates.
