Bacterial Size: Can’t Escape the Long Arm of the Law

Environmental perturbations can lead to changes in bacterial cell size that are not predicted by current models. A recent study presents a model that accurately predicts cell size under a variety of environmental conditions, from just a few measurable variables. Environmental perturbations can lead...
