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.

本数据集收录长形聚球藻（S. elongatus）单细胞的出生时刻、分裂时刻，以及出生时长、分裂时长相关数据。其中涵盖野生型菌株与生物钟缺失（kaiBC操纵子敲除）突变株的细胞数据。实验共设置3种环境条件开展检测：持续光照、12小时光照-12小时黑暗交替循环，以及16小时光照-8小时黑暗交替循环。相关数据通过延时显微成像影片获取，成像设备为倒置式尼康（Nikon）Ti-E显微镜。采集得到的图像后续通过Matlab软件搭配Schnitzcells工具完成分析处理。
