Figure 3. The origin of the time scale of the microbial culture, θ, differs from that of the experimenter, t. The dashed line that allows calculation of θ₀ corresponds to the level –β/8. For 0 < θ < θ₀, the microbial culture experiences activities related to the incoming duplication (active latency gap). Plate count data come from a batch culture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 5°C [26]. Calculated values: t_start = -20 h; t₀ = 12 h; θ₀ = 32 h
