Stochastic intergenerational cell size homeostasis: Precision measurements, exact kinematics and emergent simplicities

Invited

Abstract

In this talk I will first establish that intergenerational bacterial cell size homeostasis is maintained under appropriate growth conditions, using our high-precision data on growth and division of individual C. Crescentus cells. Next, the emergent simplicities revealed by these data. To conclude, a theoretical framework consistent with observed scaling laws, sans fitting parameters, which captures the exact kinematics of stochastic intergenerational cell size homeostasis.
