Line Plot from Scientific Research

Spatial autocorrelation function C(r) in colonies of spherical E. coli cells carrying the ferromagnetic (F) and anti-ferromagnetic (AF) systems with reporter vector 1 (F1 and AF1) or 2 (F2 and AF2). Points and error bars correspond to the mean ± the standard deviation of around 40 colonies for each system, and lines correspond to the best fit of the exponential decay equation y=y0*exp(-x/b)+C to the data. Insets show the oscillating behavior of the sACF around zero of individual anti-ferromagnetic colonies, which is lost when the data is averaged.
