Coordination Between Cytoplasmic and Envelope Densities Shapes Cellular Geometry in Escherichia coli

G. D. Chure, R. T. de Silva, R. Sharma…·J. Cremer

This study develops and validates a biophysical model showing that constant ratios of cytoplasmic and membrane protein densities regulate Escherichia coli cell geometry through proteome partitioning and ribosome content.
