From: RNA:protein ratio of the unicellular organism as a characteristic of phosphorous and nitrogen stoichiometry and of the cellular requirement of ribosomes for protein synthesis

Figure 3

The proportional relationship between the RNA:protein ratio and the number of active ribosomes per synthesized proteins. The slope of the line is equal to the C value in equations 6–8. The mass of ribosomal RNA was not measured in studies of S. ruminantium and S. cerevisiae (one study), therefore only five species are considered.
