Cell-Shape Homeostasis in Escherichia coli Is Driven by Growth, Division, and Nucleoid Complexity

Analysis of recently published high-throughput measurements of wild-type Escherichia coli cells growing at a wide range of rates demonstrates that cell width W, which is constant at any particular growth rate, is related (with a CV = 2.4%) to the level of nucleoid complexity, expressed as the amount...
