A computer program is described which simulates the growth and DNA replication processes in bacteria. The program is based on a particular model of DNA replication and its coordination with cell division (2, 5, 7). Results of our studies indicate that the model is consistent with a number of experim

โฆ Synopsis
An expression for the variance in birth volumes during balanced growth of a cell population is derived. The requirement of this expression being positive and finite allows a discussion of some of the requirements imposed on the mechanisms of growth and division.

We present in this paper various links between individual and population cell growth. Deterministic models of the lag and subsequent growth of a bacterial population and their connection with stochastic models for the lag and subsequent generation times of individual cells are analysed. We derived t
Asymmetric cell division generates two cells that contain different regulatory proteins and express different fates. In an example of asymmetric cell division from B. subtilis, a site on the membrane of the dividing cell is chosen to establish the initial asymmetry. Recent show that a key regulatory
