Starvation induces shrinkage of the bacterial cytoplasm

H. Shi, C. S. Westfall, J. Kao, P. D. Odermatt, S. Cesar, S. Anderson, M. Sievert, J. Moore, C. G. Gonzalez, L. Zhang, J. E. Elias, F. Chang, K. C. Huang, P. A. Levin

This study shows that starvation causes E. coli to shrink its inner membrane and cytoplasm, driven by water loss, and that the Tol-Pal system is essential for recovery.

Comprehensive analysis of central carbon metabolism reveals multiple connections between nutrients, biosynthetic capacity, and cell morphology in Escherichia coli

C. S. Westfall, P. A. Levin

This study investigates how nutrient availability affects Escherichia coli growth rate and cell morphology by analyzing the impact of non-essential central carbon metabolic gene deletions.
