Dynamic proteome trade-offs regulate bacterial cell size and growth in fluctuating nutrient environments

Abstract Bacteria dynamically regulate cell size and growth to thrive in changing environments. While previous studies have characterized bacterial growth physiology at steady-state, a quantitative understanding of bacterial physiology in time-varying environments is lacking. Here we develop a quant...
