There’s a reason bacteria stay in shape: Theorists show how random processes cancel out to ensure microbial health – Science Daily
A simple theoretical model seeks to explain why bacteria remain roughly the same size and shape. The work by chemists could offer new insight into diseases, inc…
Fat bacteria? Skinny bacteria? From our perspective on high, they all seem to be about the same size. In fact, they are.Precisely why has been an open question, according to Rice University chemist Anatoly Kolomeisky, who now has a theory.
A primal mechanism in bacteria that keeps them in their personal Goldilocks zones — that is, just right — appears to depend on two random means of regulation, growth and division, that cancel each other out. The same mechanism may give researchers a new per…
