Popis: Bacterial cells actively change their size and shape in response to external environments. Here, Shi et al. explore how cells regulate their morphology during rapid environmental changes, showing that the characteristic dynamics of surface area-to-volume ratio are conserved across genetic and chemical perturbations, as well as across species and growth temperatures.
