Abstract
When cells of Escherichia coli reach a certain critical length, which is constant in all growth conditions and equal to twice the minimum cell length, they abruptly increase their rate of elongation and divide .apprx. 20 min later. Chromosome replication terminates at about this same cell length but is not the signal for the change in rate of cell elongation.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
