摘要:

ROUNDS of DNA replication are initiated in Escherichia coli at different stages in the cell cycle of bacteria growing at different rates 1 . It is possible to calculate that the initiation of a round of DNA replication always takes place at a time when the cell mass/chromosome origin reaches a particular critical value. In other words, the mass at which initiation takes place is always an integral multiple of a particular mass. This constancy in turn provides an explanation for the increase in size of cells with increase in the rate of growth.
