Skew-Laplace and Cell-Size Distribution in Microbial Axenic Cultures: Statistical Assessment and Biological Interpretation

Figure 2

Log-skew-Laplace fit of cell size as well as skew-Laplace fit of cytometric FS and SS values. The data histogram appears in grey shadow and the continuous profile represents the estimated skew-Laplace or log-skew-Laplace fit. E. coli cell size (microns) in chemostat ( 𝐷 = 1 . 3 2  h-1) or batch culture (36 h of incubation). E. coli FS in chemostat ( 𝐷 = 0 . 9 6  h-1) or batch culture (36 h of incubation). S. aureus SS in chemostat ( 𝐷 = 0 . 9 6  h-1) or batch culture (after 20 h of incubation).
