Manipulating the Bacterial Cell Cycle and Cell Size by Titrating the Expression of Ribonucleotide Reductase

ABSTRACT Understanding how bacteria coordinate growth with cell cycle events to maintain cell size homeostasis remains a grand challenge in biology. The period of chromosome replication (C period) is a key stage in the bacterial cell cycle. However, the mechanism of in vivo regulation of the C perio...
