Out-of-balance Growth Enables Cost-free Synthesis of the Flagellum and Other Proteins in a Single Bacterium

Mayra Garcia-Alcala, Josiah C. Kratz, Philippe Cluzel

The paper shows that single-cell growth rates increase with flagellar gene activity, contradicting bulk measurements, and attributes this to inherited growth factors.

Stochastic transcriptional pulses orchestrate flagellum biosynthesis in E. coli

J. Mark Kim, Mayra Garcia-Alcala, Enrique Balleza, Philippe Cluzel

The paper shows that flagellum biosynthesis in E. coli is driven by stochastic transcriptional pulses rather than a deterministic program, revealing a post-translational regulatory mechanism.
