253: Cell growth and cell size with Petra Levin

<p>Petra Levin joins TWiM to tell three stories from her laboratory: how starvation induces shrinkage of the bacterial cytoplasm; plasticity of E. coli cell wall and how it influences antibiotic resistance across different environments; and induction of antibiotic resistance by Triclosan.<br /> <br /> Guest: <a href="https://biology.wustl.edu/people/petra-levin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Petra Levin</a></p> <h2><strong>Links for this episode</strong></h2> <ul> <li>Starvation induces <a href= "https://www.pnas.org/content/118/24/e2104686118" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E. coli shrinkage</a> (PNAS)</li> <li>Plasticity of <a href= "https://elifesciences.org/articles/40754#abstract" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cell wall metabolism and antibiotic resistance</a> (eLife)</li> <li><a href="https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/AAC.02312-18" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Triclosan induces antibiotic resistance</a> (Antimicro Agents Chemother)</li> <li><a href="https://asm.org/twimpoll" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">TWiM Listener survey</a></li> </ul>
