2. Figure 1 Cell growth impacts the surface area to volume ratio (SA/V).
(A) As rod-like cells grow by elongation, the SA/V decreases. (B) During septation, two new cell caps are constructed, leading to an increase in the SA/V. (C) Under fosfomycin treatment and shifts to rich media, volume-growth rate and surface-area growth rate change, leading to an increase in the SA/V, and cells adjust their size accordingly. (D) In an early stage of chloramphenicol treatment, cells shrink, thus leading to a decrease in the SA/V.
