0.34mm
That's 21× as long as the lambda phage genome, while the E. coli genome is 4.6× longer. Stretched out, that would be about 0.34 mm long.
What it means
How long is that?
Figures are for double-stranded B-DNA: 0.34 nm and about 650 daltons per base pair, and 10.5 base pairs to a turn.
The math
How to convert Mb to mm
To convert megabases to millimeters, multiply by 0.34.
Example: 1 Mb × 0.34 = 0.34 mm.
In the other direction, 1 mm = 2.94118 Mb.
