Self-similar tip growth in filamentary organisms.
The growth of a family of filamentary microorganisms is described in terms of self-similar growth at the tip which is driven by pressure and sustained by a wall-building growth process. The cell wall is modeled biomechanically as a stretchable elastic membrane using large-deformation elasticity theo...
