Sizing up the bacterial cell cycle
L Willis, KC Huang - Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2017 - nature.com
It is remarkable how robustly a bacterial species can maintain its preferred size. This
capacity is intimately related to control of the cell cycle: cell size and growth rate determine …

Synthesis and degradation of FtsZ quantitatively predict the first cell division in starved bacteria
In natural environments, microbes are typically non‐dividing and gauge when nutrients
permit division. Current models are phenomenological and specific to nutrient‐rich …
