Principles of Bacterial Cell-Size Determination Revealed by Cell-Wall Synthesis Perturbations

Although bacterial cell morphology is tightly controlled, the principles of size regulation remain elusive. In Escherichia coli, perturbation of cell-wall synthesis often results in similar morphologies, making it difficult to deconvolve the complex genotype-phenotype relationships underlying morpho...
