The application of flow cytometry and skew-Laplace statistical analysis to assess cellular heterogeneity in Gram-negative axenic cultures is reported. In particular, fit to the log-skew-Laplace distribution for cellular side scatter or ‘granulosity’ is reported, and a number of theoretical and applied issues are considered in relation to the biological significance of this fit.
