Figure F10. Total prokaryotic cells (solid circles) and the percentage of those cells involved in cell division (open circles) with depth at Site 1230. Dividing cell percentages become increasingly unreliable as total cell counts decrease below 1 x 107 cells/cm3 and within-sample variability rises due to the low number of cells counted. Vertical dashed line on the left represents the detection limit at 2.5 x 105 cells/cm3.

Figure F10. Total prokaryotic cells (solid circles) and the percentage of those cells involved in cell division (open circles) with depth at Site 1230. Dividing cell percentages become increasingly unreliable as total cell counts decrease below 1 x 10⁷ cells/cm³ and within-sample variability rises due to the low number of cells counted. Vertical dashed line on the left represents the detection limit at 2.5 x 10⁵ cells/cm³.
