Quantitative image analysis for high-throughput phenotyping of individual bacterial cells KU Leuven
Bacteria are small unicellular organisms that often exhibit short generation times, are genetically tractable and easily engineerable. Although bacteria represent simple forms of proliferating cells, without additional layers of internal organization (e.g., membrane-enclosed organelles) or cell cycle regulation (e.g., cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases) seen in eukaryotic cells, they too need to spatially organize their cellular content to ...
