Cell-envelope synthesis is required for surface-to-mass coupling, which determines dry-mass density in Bacillus subtilis

Y. Kitahara, E. Oldewurtel, S. Wilson, Y. Sun, E. Garner, S. van Teeffelen

The paper shows that surface-to-mass coupling determines dry-mass density in Bacillus subtilis by linking envelope synthesis to volume regulation.

Bacteria control cell volume by coupling cell-surface expansion to dry-mass growth

E. R. Oldewurtel, Y. Kitahara, B. Cordier, G. Özbaykal, S. van Teeffelen

This study shows bacteria control cell volume by expanding their surface area in proportion to biomass growth, challenging the idea that cell-wall synthesis directly controls envelope expansion.
