Abstract
The size, shape and composition of cells in cultures of bacteria maintained in steady states of exponential growth depend on the cultural conditions employed. Important factors influencing these parameters are the growth rate of the culture and the transit time of replication forks from one end of a chromosome to the other. The considerable progress which has been made in the last ten years in elucidating the rules governing the form and composition of cells of
Escherichia coli
as a function of growth rate and transit time is outlined in the Review.
