摘要

Reporting in Cell, Harris and Theriot (2016) use modeling and quantitative imaging to analyze bacterial cell growth and division. By manipulating surface and volume growth rates, the authors provide insight into bacterial cell size regulation and propose that a threshold level of unincorporated cell wall material specifies when cells divide.
