Cellular resource allocation strategies for cell size and shape control in bacteria
Diana Serbanescu, Nikola Ojkic, Shiladitya Banerjee
Bacteria are highly adaptive microorganisms that thrive in a wide range of growth conditions via changes in cell morphologies and macromolecular composition. How bacterial morpholo…
Reduced adhesion between cells and substrate confers selective advantage in bacterial colonies
Craig Watson, Paul Hush, Joshua Williams +4
Microbial colonies cultured on agar Petri dishes have become a model system to study biological evolution in populations expanding in space. Processes such as clonal segregation an…
Bistable forespore engulfment in Bacillus subtilis by a zipper mechanism in absence of the cell wall
Nikola Ojkic, Javier López-Garrido, Kit Pogliano +1
To survive starvation, the bacterium Bacillus subtilis forms durable spores. The initial step of sporulation is asymmetric cell division, leading to a large mother-cell and a small…
