Length of lag phase versus maximum rate of growth Mrakia frigida (DSM 70883) on malt-extract, yeast-extract phosphate agar (MYPiA) at 1.7 °C, supplemented with a range of stressors: (a) glycerol (1.1 M); (b) glucose (1.7 M); (c) sucrose (0.7 M); and (d) combined solute-treatment 1 (10% glycerol, 10% sucrose, 1% KCl plus 5% NaCl [w/v]). For each treatment, there were six replicates; these are shown in red, blue, orange, green, purple, and turquoise on each plot. Data were obtained from Fig. 2; see Experimental procedures. Trend lines showing a strong correlation between data are solid and black (c,d), while dashed grey lines indicate inconsistency between lag and growth rates (i.e. no correlation was observed) (a,b).
