✦ Synopsis

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 experimental results. We have also investigated some apparently inconsistent results and have shown how these too may be explained by the model when actual experimental conditions are simulated.

## Abstract Cell‐wall‐less bacterial variants, or L‐forms, have been described in many bacterial species under laboratory conditions, in infected eukaryotic cell cultures and inside animals. Of special interest for human health is the formation of L‐forms as a consequence of specific antibiotic tre

We have isolated and purified a cell surface sialoglycopeptide (SGP) from bovine cerebral cortex cells that previously was shown to be a potent inhibitor of cellular protein synthesis. The following studies were carried out to characterize the potential ability of the SGP to inhibit DNA synthesis an

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

A computer simulation is presented for cell proliferation in a structured cell cycle model. The simulation takes into account the idea that DNA replication and cell growth are two loosely coupled subcycles. The simulation experiments performed offer an explanation for the close correlation often fou
