Fig. 3

DNA content scales with cell volume as a power function with an exponent of ¾. Entries are from a subset of those in Table S1 (n = 60, see Additional file 1), and determinations by Shuter et al. [35] (n = 39). Orange points belong to eukaryotic microbes, yellow points belong to archaea, and green points to bacteria. Full statistics for the fit (in red type) are given in Table S2 (Additional file 2)
