Determining the rate-limiting processes for cell division in Escherichia coli

This study investigates the role of FtsN and FtsA in E. coli cell division and finds that FtsZ protofilaments, not FtsN, are rate-limiting for division onset.

To bin or not to bin: analyzing single-cell growth data

The paper analyzes single-cell growth data in E. coli, showing that growth is non-exponential and faster than exponential in later cell cycle stages.

The effects of polydisperse crowders on the compaction of the Escherichia coli nucleoid

This study shows that macromolecular crowders significantly compact E. coli nucleoids, with volume decreasing 3-fold at 30% higher crowder concentration.
