Editing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (section)

=== Morphology ===
Analysis of ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' via [[scanning electron microscope]] shows the bacteria are {{val|2.71|1.05|u=um}} in length with an average diameter of {{val|0.345|0.029|u=um}}.<ref name=":10" /> The [[Bacterial cell structure|outer membrane]] and plasma membrane surface areas were measured to be {{val|3.04|1.33|u=um2}} and {{val|2.67|1.19|u=um2}}, respectively. The cell, outer membrane, periplasm, plasma membrane, and cytoplasm volumes were {{val|0.293|0.113|u=fl}} (= μm<sup>3</sup>), {{val|0.006|0.003|u=fl}}, {{val|0.060|0.021|u=fl}}, {{val|0.019|0.008|u=fl}}, and {{val|0.210|0.091|u=fl}}, respectively. The average total [[Ribosome recycling factor|ribosome]] number was {{val|1672|568}} with ribosome density about {{val|716.5|171.4|up=0.1 fl}}.<ref name=":10" />
