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.

The paper quantifies the metabolic flux of fermentation products from the gut microbiota, showing it varies with diet but not microbiota composition.

The paper quantifies the relationship between bacterial growth rate, cell size, and protein content in E. coli using proteomic data, finding ribosome biogenesis as a primary determinant of growth rate.
