How bacteria link their growth rate to external nutrient conditions is unknown. To investigate how Bacillus subtilis cells alter the rate at which they expand their cell walls as they grow, we compared single-cell growth rates of cells grown under agar pads with the density of moving MreB filaments under a variety of growth conditions. MreB filament density increases proportionally with growth rate.
