Death rates of panel B plotted against growth rates of panel A shown as circles in a grey-scale. Squares show data obtained using eight other carbon substrates, also listed in Table EV1. Color circles show data obtained by varying growth rate in a chemostat. The black line shows a linear weighted least square fit to log-transformed data, that takes uncertainty in data points into account (see Methods). Data shown as mean ± (standard deviation) SD. Two or three replicates per condition.
