The life of a bacterial cell is feast or famine ... Control of cell size at division in fission yeast by a growth-modulated size control over nuclear division. Exp. Cell Res.

Physicists have developed a model that describes how individual parameters, like the variability in growth and the timing of cell division, can influence population dynamics in bacteria.

The investigators were able to capture images of the growing bacteria over time, and used computational tools to analyze and then model events like cell division, growth, and DNA replication in ...

Cell wall synthesis plays a key role in bacterial growth: the cell division protein FtsZ forms the so-called Z-ring in the center of the cell, thus initiating the division process. A new cell wall is ...

The inventory of partly copied chromosomes fuels rapid population growth ... Because division proceeds unimpeded, cells are smaller when they divide. What about other bacteria?

When the bacterial cells divide, copies of the human genes will be passed on to the new cells. Bacterial cells divide very rapidly so large quantities of human proteins can be produced.

Cell wall synthesis plays a key role in bacterial growth: the cell division protein FtsZ forms the so-called Z-ring in the center of the cell, thus initiating the division process. A new cell wall ...

When a single bacterial cell divides into two during periods of rapid growth, it doesn't split in ... have ignored the drivers of cell division at the molecular scale. Their findings were ...

When DarG removes the tag, growth resumes. This start-and-stop control may help the bacteria ... live-cell imaging and RNA sequencing to track changes in DNA replication, cell division and gene ...

To survive, slow bacterial growth allows mutations to arise that help the bugs ... “It's usually assumed that when you have DNA replication, bacteria will then go through cell division,” Hill said.

Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce. Multicellular organisms use cell division for growth and repair of damage such as wounds.
