cell length

[carrineblank]

For the sentence: "Cells are 2.5 ± 0.5 µm long and 0.6 ± 0.05 µm wide"

MicroPIE is picking up "± 0.5 µm" as the cell length.
MicroPIE should be picking up "2.5 ± 0.5 µm"

For the sentence: "Cells are Gram-stain positive, non-spore-forming rods measuring 0.52±0.10 x 2.71±0.72 µm"

MicroPIE is picking up nothing for cell length
MicroPIE is picking up "±0.72 µm" for cell width

MicroPIE should be picking up "2.71±0.72 µm" for cell length
MicroPIE should be picking up "0.52±0.10 µm" for cell width

For the sentences: "Vegetative cells are rod-shaped and 0.5–0.7 µm in diameter and 1.0–1.5 µm in length (Fig. S2), Gram-stain-positive, motile and catalase- and oxidase-positive. Does not grow anaerobically. Growth occurs at 20–50°C (optimum, 30–37°C) but not at 5, 10, 15, 20, 60, 65 or 70°C. Growth occurs in the range 0–14 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum, 6.0–8.0) in TSB. Colonies are round, smooth, yellowish, have irregular margins and are approximately 2.8±0.2 mm on TSA plates incubated at 37°C for 24 h. "
