A Fundamental Unit of Cell Size in Bacteria.

A Fundamental Unit of Cell Size in Bacteria. Trends Genet. 2017 May 22;: Authors: Jun S, Rust MJ Abstract A new study clarifies a relationship between growth, gene expression, and cell size in cyanobacteria. Quite unexpectedly, cyanobacteria and Escherichia coli appear to share an invariance principle to coordinate growth and chromosome replication. This principle allows quantitative predictions of cell size across a range of growth conditions in both organisms. PMID: 28545962 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
