Relationship between cellular ribosomal gene content (Rc) and cell volume (Vc) in microbes (n = 107), plotted as a log/log graph. The grey line is a power fit with the equation displayed in red type (fit statistics are in Table S2, Additional file 2). Data points belonging to eukaryotes are in orange, those for archaea in yellow, and bacteria in green. For three species, we plotted datasets to highlight intraspecies variability: Synechococcus elongatus (light blue symbols) [28], Colozoum pelagicum (light purple) [19], and Sphaerozoum fuscum [19] (light yellow)
