Mechanosensitive channels and bacterial cell wall integrity: does life end with a bang or a whimper?

Mechanogated channels are fundamental components of bacterial cells that enable retention of physical integrity during extreme increases in cell turgor. Optical tweezers combined with microfluidics have been used to study the fate of individual Escherichia coli cells lacking such channels when subje...
