Measuring and modeling energy and power consumption in living microbial cells with a synthetic ATP reporter

Y Deng, DR Beahm, S Ionov, R Sarpeshkar - BMC biology, 2021 - Springer
Background Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the main energy carrier in living organisms,
critical for metabolism and essential physiological processes. In humans, abnormal …

Metabolic enzyme cost explains variable trade-offs between microbial growth rate and yield

MT Wortel, E Noor, M Ferris… - PLoS computational …, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Microbes may maximize the number of daughter cells per time or per amount of nutrients
consumed. These two strategies correspond, respectively, to the use of enzyme-efficient or …

Analysis of the evolution of resistance to multiple antibiotics enables prediction of the Escherichia coli phenotype-based fitness landscape

J Iwasawa, T Maeda, A Shibai, H Kotani… - PLoS …, 2022 - journals.plos.org

and fitness under a given environment, the structure of which allows the explanation and …

Laboratory evolution reveals a two-dimensional rate-yield tradeoff in microbial metabolism

C Cheng, EJ O'brien, D McCloskey… - PLoS computational …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Growth rate and yield are fundamental features of microbial growth. However, we lack a
mechanistic and quantitative understanding of the rate-yield relationship. Studies pairing …

Bacterial fitness landscapes stratify based on proteome allocation associated with discrete aero-types

K Chen, A Anand, C Olson, TE Sandberg… - PLoS computational …, 2021 - journals.plos.org
The fitness landscape is a concept commonly used to describe evolution towards optimal
phenotypes. It can be reduced to mechanistic detail using genome-scale models (GEMs) …

The effect of natural selection on the propagation of protein expression noise to bacterial growth

LHJ Krah, R Hermsen - PLoS computational biology, 2021 - journals.plos.org
In bacterial cells, protein expression is a highly stochastic process. Gene expression noise
moreover propagates through the cell and adds to fluctuations in the cellular growth rate. A …
