title: The realm of the steady state in Escherichia coli.
abstract: Only at cell concentrations of less than 10(7)/ml are E. coli in steady state as defined by three intrinsic properties: mean cell diameter, cellular specific gravity and the concentration of beta-galactosidase per cell. Such concentrations are below the range of turbidimetry.
