Concentrations of components of population-average cells of BCG-Pasteur; comparison with <i>E.coli</i> B/r.

¶[19]. †mR(av), the mass of nR(av) ribosomes was calculated on the basis of the assumption that Mr = 2.7×106 Da so that the mass of a ribosome is 4.5×10−3 fg. ‡ν(av), the volume of a population-average cell was calculated from the equation ν(av) fl = (mdc(av)/1,000)/(0.3ρc) where ρc = 1.09 fg/fl is the density of a population-average cell [45]: mdc(av) is thought to comprise 30% of the cell mass. §cDNA (av) etc. refer to concentrations (mDNA(av)/V(av)) of DNA etc.
