High Osmolarity Modulates Bacterial Cell Size through Reducing Initiation Volume in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content>

ABSTRACT Bacterial cell size is closely associated with biomass growth and cell cycle progression, including chromosome replication and cell division. It is generally proposed that Escherichia coli cells tightly control the timing of chromosome replication through maintaining a constant cell volume...
