Mechanisms of cell-size control in Gram-negative bacteria
Project Summary To grow and survive, bacteria rely on a multitude of physiological processes occurring along and across the cell envelope, including nutrient uptake, respiration, and the secretion of waste products. These processes are sustained by a dense arrangement of proteins located within and along the cell envelope. To better predict bacterial growth behavior in different environments it is thus essential to better understand how bacterial cells control their envelope proteome depending on their cell-physiological state and the specific characteristics of the environment they encounter. This research integrates experiments and mathematical modeling to promote such a systems-level…
