Robust Growth of Escherichia coli
The quantitative study of the cell growth has led to many fundamental insights in our understanding of a wide range of subjects, from the cell cycle to senescence. Of particular importance is the growth rate, whose constancy represents a physiological steady state of an organism. Recent studies, however, suggest that the rate of elongation during exponential growth of bacterial cells decreases ...
متن کاملGrowth of flagellar filaments of Escherichia coli is independent of filament length.
Bacterial flagellar filaments grow at their distal ends, from flagellin that travels through a central channel ∼2 nm in diameter. The flagellin is extruded from the cytoplasm by a pump powered by a proton motive force (PMF). We measured filament growth in cells near the mid-exponential-phase with flagellin bearing a specific cysteine-for-serine substitution, allowing filaments to be labeled wit...
متن کاملGrowth of the Escherichia coli cell surface.
Phage T6 was used as a label to follow the growth of the outer membrane in a strain of Escherichia coli temperature sensitive for the production of the T6 receptor. Extension of the surface takes place at the cell poles. Small cells extend at only one pole, whereas larger cells grow from both poles. The change from unipolar to bipolar growth appears to depend on the attainment of a particular c...
متن کاملPhospholipid alterations during growth of Escherichia coli.
As cultures of Escherichia coli progressed from the exponential growth phase to the stationary growth phase, the phospholipid composition of the cell was altered. Unsaturated fatty acids were converted to cyclopropane fatty acids, and phosphatidyl glycerol appears to have been converted to cardiolipin. With dual isotope label experiments, the kinetics of synthesis of cyclopropane fatty acid for...
متن کاملGrowth and division of Escherichia coli.
Two assumptions frequently have been made in studies on the growth of individual bacteria. The increase in volume of rod-shaped bacteria has been assumed to consist of an increase only in length; thus, measurements of length have been used to estimate the volume of a cell (A. L. Koch et al., J. Gen. Microbiol. 29:421, 1962; J. F. Collins and M. H. Richmond, J. Gen. Microbiol. 28:15, 1962). Seco...
