Coarse-grained simulations of bacterial cell wall growth reveal that local coordination alone can be sufficient to maintain rod shape

Bacteria are surrounded by a peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall that must be remodeled to allow cell growth. While many structural details and properties of PG and the individual enzymes involved are known, how the process is coordinated to maintain cell integrity and rod shape is not understood. We have...
