Bacterial growth: a statistical physicist's guide
arXiv:1812.04435 · doi:10.1088/1361-6633/aae546
Abstract
Bacterial growth presents many beautiful phenomena that pose new theoretical challenges to statistical physicists, and are also amenable to laboratory experimentation. This review provides some of the essential biological background, discusses recent applications of statistical physics in this field, and highlights the potential for future research.
