Mechanical Consequences of Cell-Wall Turnover in the Elongation of a Gram-Positive Bacterium

A common feature of walled organisms is their exposure to osmotic forces that challenge the mechanical integrity of cells while driving elongation. Most bacteria rely on their cell wall to bear osmotic stress and determine cell shape. Wall thickness can vary greatly among species, with Gram-positive...
