Thrilled to share our latest preprint about asymmetric division in E. coli! Work led by the amazing @ThappetaYashna & @SilviaCanasD. Fun collaboration with the Cegelski lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Glycogen phase separation drives macromolecular rearrangement and asymmetric division in E. coli

Bacteria often experience nutrient limitation in nature and the laboratory. While exponential and stationary growth phases are well characterized in the model bacterium Escherichia coli , little is...

Coupled or not coupled? In this preprint, we explored conditions that affect coupling (or uncoupling) between transcription, translation, and mRNA degradation in bacteria. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Bacterial growth rate modulation is typically associated with genetic or environmental changes. In this preprint, we show that growth rate in Caulobacter varies between daughter cells in the same environment. Led by (brand-new) Dr. @skye_glenn. #ppGpp biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Coupling of cell growth modulation to asymmetric division and cell cycle regulation in Caulobacter...

In proliferating bacteria, growth rate is often assumed to be similar between daughter cells. However, most of our knowledge of cell growth derives from studies on symmetrically dividing bacteria. In...

Thrilled to share our latest preprint describing the role of genome concentration on cell growth and proteome composition. Work led by @MakelaJarno with a fun collaboration with @JanSkotheim lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Genome concentration limits cell growth and modulates proteome composition in Escherichia coli

Defining the cellular factors that drive growth rate and proteome composition is essential for understanding and manipulating cellular systems. In bacteria, ribosome concentration is known to be a...
