Scale Invariance of Cell Size Fluctuations in Starving Bacteria
Scale Invariance of Cell Size Fluctuations in Starving Bacteria
Abstract In stable environments, cell size fluctuations are thought to be governed by simple physical principles, as suggested by recent findings of scaling properties. Here, by developing a novel microfluidic device and using E. coli, we investigate the response of cell size fluctuations against starvation. By abruptly switching to non-nutritious …
