Bacteria cells are enclosed by a cell wall, a cross-linked polymer network.
How do you controllably ‘grow’ and divide a polymer network?

The cell wall bears considerable load due to high internal osmotic pressure.

P = (Cin −Cout )T
Gram negatives: P1 atm (h3nm)Gram positives: P10 atm (h30nm)
Does cell wall expansion, and therefore cell growth, depend on osmotic pressure?

Dissecting this data reveals a simple mechanism of wall synthesis.

Model: in E. coli synthesis is rate limiting, but osmotic pressure is required.

Bacillus subtilis exhibits a more drastic response to osmotic shock.

The growth rate of B. subtilis rings in response to downshock.

The existence of ringing predicts that we should be able to drive resonance.

Potential Feedback Mechanisms
Pressure Model: osmotic shock triggers nonlinear feedback in osmoregulation.
Synthesis Model: osmotic shock results in an imbalance of wall precursors.

Ringing depends on the availability of wall precursors.

S. aureus divides extremely fast.
