Using conditional independence tests to elucidate causal links in cell cycle regulation in Escherichia coli

P Kar, S Tiruvadi-Krishnan, J Männik… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
How cells regulate their cell cycles is a central question for cell biology. Models of cell size
homeostasis have been proposed for bacteria, archaea, yeast, plant, and mammalian cells …

Two different cell-cycle processes determine the timing of cell division in Escherichia coli

A Colin, G Micali, L Faure, MC Lagomarsino… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Cells must control the cell cycle to ensure that key processes are brought to completion. In
Escherichia coli, it is controversial whether cell division is tied to chromosome replication or …

Robust replication initiation from coupled homeostatic mechanisms

M Berger, PR Wolde - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com
The bacterium Escherichia coli initiates replication once per cell cycle at a precise volume
per origin and adds an on average constant volume between successive initiation events …

Quantitative Examination of Five Stochastic Cell-Cycle and Cell-Size Control Models for Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis

G Le Treut, F Si, D Li, S Jun - Frontiers in microbiology, 2021 - frontiersin.org
We examine five quantitative models of the cell-cycle and cell-size control in Escherichia coli
and Bacillus subtilis that have been proposed over the last decade to explain single-cell …

Single-cell data and correlation analysis support the independent double adder model in both Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis

G Le Treut, F Si, D Li, S Jun - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
The reference point for cell-size control in the cell cycle is a fundamental biological question.
We previously reported that we were unable to reproduce the conclusions of Witz et al.'s …
