Table 1: The δ13C and F values of the DNA extracted from Escherichia coli mediums. E.coli was supplied with different levels of 13C abundance in glucose (0, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 atom% 13C)

F indicates fractional abundance, i.e. 13C/(12C + 13C). Different letters represent significance of difference at P < 0.05 level.
