This review begins by briefly presenting the history of research on the chemical composition
and other parameters of cells of E. coli and S. enterica at different exponential growth rates …

Bacterial physiology is a branch of biology that aims to understand overarching principles of
cellular reproduction. Many important issues in bacterial physiology are inherently …

Schaechter et al.(121) first demonstrated that the macromolecular composition of the
bacterial cell was related to its metabolic activity and that RNA-containing particles were …

It is generally assumed that the allocation and synthesis of total cellular resources in
microorganisms are uniquely determined by the growth conditions. Adaptation to a new …

Several parameters of phage T4 adsorption to and growth in Escherichia coli B/r were
determined. All changed monotonously with the bacterial growth rate (μ), which was …

DNA fragments obtained from Eco RI endonuclease digestion of bacteriophage ϕ80pt190
(trp+) and the plasmid ColE1 were covalently joined with polynucleotide ligase …

How cells regulate their cell cycles is a central question for cell biology. Models of cell size
homeostasis have been proposed for bacteria, archaea, yeast, plant, and mammalian cells …

How does a bacterial cell grow during the division cycle? This question is answered by the
codeveloper of the Cooper-Helmstetter model of DNA replication. In a unique analysis of the …

Two methods have been used to determine the origin and direction of chromosome
replication in Escherichia coli: gradient of marker frequency and sequence of replication in …

The complexity of the genome of Micrococcus radiodurans was determined to be (2.0+/-0.3)
X 10 (9) daltons by DNA renaturation kinetics. The number of genome equivalents of DNA …
