Modeling cell size regulation: From single-cell level statistics to molecular mechanisms and population level effects
Po-Yi Ho, Jie Lin, Ariel Amir
Most microorganisms regulate their cell size. We review here some of the mathematical formulations of the problem of cell size regulation. We focus on coarse-grained stochastic mod…
Interrogating the Escherichia coli cell cycle by cell dimension perturbations
Hai Zheng, Po-Yi Ho, Meiling Jiang +7
Bacteria tightly regulate and coordinate the various events in their cell cycles to duplicate themselves accurately and to control their cell sizes. Growth of Escherichia coli, in…
Simultaneous regulation of cell size and chromosome replication in bacteria
Po-Yi Ho, Ariel Amir
Bacteria are able to maintain a narrow distribution of cell sizes by regulating the timing of cell divisions. In rich nutrient conditions, cells divide much faster than their chrom…
Single-cell analysis of growth in budding yeast and bacteria reveals a common size regulation strategy
Ilya Soifer, Lydia Robert, Ariel Amir
To maintain a constant cell size, dividing cells have to coordinate cell cycle events with cell growth. This coordination has for long been supposed to rely on the existence of siz…
Cell size regulation in microorganisms
Ariel Amir
Various rod-shaped bacteria such as the canonical gram negative Escherichia coli or the well-studied gram positive Bacillus subtilis divide symmetrically after they approximately d…
