GROWTH OF E.coli STRAIN MG1655

Growth of MG1655 in M9 minimal medium

MG1655 has a doubling time of 67 minutes on M9 minimal medium + glucose + thiamine (1ug/ml). This is calculated from the following data from 4 separate growth curves. MG1655 recently obtained from ATCC (#47076) is included for comparison: (click to enlarge images)
