Super interesting finding: polar growth and dispersed growth are not mutually exclusive! Congrats to the authors 👌

Great to see this out in @pnas.org. A great effort led by Petr Pelch and Christoph Allolio at @charlesuni.cuni.cz who developed a new morphoelastic model for PG biogenesis and cell division.
So happy to have contributed to this beautiful study led by PetrPelech! A combined theory–experiment effort based on our in situ cryo-ET data, revealing how stress-mediated growth shapes E. coli division site morphogenesis. #teamtomo 🌐 🦠🔬❄️🐎

In order to proliferate, bacteria must remodel their cell wall at the division site. The division process is driven by the enzymatic activity of pe...

It has been coming a long way... happy to share our latest work with you: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Here, we show the importance of septal fortification by the Class A Penicillin Binding Protein, PBP1b, in E. coli and provide a molecular mechanism for this function. (1/12).
The aPBP-type cell wall synthase PBP1b plays a specialized role in fortifying the Escherichia coli division site against osmotic rupture
A multi-protein system called the divisome promotes bacterial division. This apparatus synthesizes the peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall layer that forms the daughter cell poles and protects them from osmo...
