Another paper is out today in @NaturePhysics. Long thought to operate at the physical limits of sensing, E. coli chemotaxis turns out to be constrained instead by cells’ own noisy signal processing. With @machtagroup, @EmonetLab, @KeitaKamino nature.com/articles/s41567-0…

E. coli chemosensing accuracy is not limited by stochastic molecule arrivals

Nature Physics - The chemosensing accuracy of E. coli cells is shown to be limited by internal noise in signal processing, rather than the stochasticity of molecule arrivals at their receptors,...

It’s long been thought that E. coli sense chemical concentrations with accuracy near physical limits. With single-cell measurements and information theory, we find that their sensing capabilities are instead limited by internal stochasticity. arxiv.org/abs/2407.07264

Chemotaxing E. coli do not count single molecules

Organisms use specialized sensors to measure their environments, but the fundamental principles that determine their accuracy remain largely unknown. In Escherichia coli chemotaxis, we previously...

Our new paper is out @CellSystemsCP. We asked how a cell population copes with multiple environmental signals using E. coli chemotaxis as a model. Turns out they can process two signals independently using a single signaling pathway! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
