Figure 6.

Effect of plasmids, carbohydrates and eGFP expression on cell length of different strains. (A) The strains were grown for 24 h at 30°C in LB supplemented with 0.2% (w/v) L-rhamnose (+), L-arabinose (A) or D-glucose (G) as indicated in the row 'induction'. For each culture the lengths of 100 cells were determined, the average value and the standard deviation are shown. The optical density of the cultures is indicated by a black diamond above the bar. The number of cells per milliliter of culture were determined by counting them in a Thoma-chamber.
