A new mathematical approach predicts individual cell growth behavior using bacterial population information.

Abstract excerpt

A theoretical methodology has been developed for studying the growth kinetics of bacterial cells. It utilizes the steady-state cell length distribution in a bacterial population to predict the dependency of growth and division rates on cell length and age. The mathematical model has been applied to the analysis of two bacterial populations, a wild-type strain of Bacillus subtilis, and a minicell-producing strain...
