Confinement and crowding control the morphology and dynamics of a model bacterial chromosome
Pinaki Swain, Bela M. Mulder, Debasish Chaudhuri
Motivated by recent experiments probing shape, size and dynamics of bacterial chromosomes in growing cells, we consider a polymer model consisting of a circular backbone to which s…
