Sources, propagation and consequences of stochasticity in cellular growth

The drivers of growth rate variability in bacteria are yet unknown. Here, the authors present a theory to predict the growth dynamics of individual cells and use a stochastic cell model integrating metabolism, gene expression and replication to identify the processes that underlie growth variation.
