Research data supporting Cell size control driven by the circadian clock and environment in cyanobacteria

This record contains data on birth and division times, as well as on birth and division lengths, of single cells of the cyanobacterium S. elongatus. Data for wild type and clock-null (deletion of kaiBC operon) cells are included. 3 environmental conditions (constant light, graded 12 h light : 12 h dark, and graded 16 h light : 8 h dark) were assayed. Data were obtained from time-lapse microscopy movies, which were acquired on an inverted Nikon Ti-E microscope. Acquired images were subsequently analysed in Matlab using the software Schnitzcells.

本记录包含了蓝藻中S. elongatus单细胞出生及分裂时间，以及出生及分裂时长等方面的数据。其中，野生型细胞与钟控缺失型（kaiBC操纵子缺失）细胞的数据亦被纳入。实验考察了三种环境条件（恒定光照、12小时光照与12小时黑暗交替，以及16小时光照与8小时黑暗交替）。数据通过时间序列显微电影获得，该电影是在倒置式Nikon Ti-E显微镜下拍摄的。获取的图像随后在Matlab中使用Schnitzcells软件进行分析。
