Figure 5From: Stochastic simulations of minimal cells: the Ribocell modelDeterministic time evolution of the Ribocell. Aqueous core volume (left upper plot), growth control coefficient γ, on the left axis, and reduced surface ϕ, on the right axis,(right upper plot) are reported against time for a ribocell starting with the initial number N0 of both RcRL and RcRP dimers equal to 100; on lower plot, division times against generation number for different initial N0 values are displayed. In the upper plots, the vertical dashed lines represent the cell division times that take place when ϕ = 21/3.Back to article page
