a Combining the C and D periods for shortening cell division. b Combining the C and D periods for prolonging cell division. c Effect of normal cell division on cell morphology and the C+D periods. d Effect of shortening cell division on cell morphology and the C+D periods. e Effect of prolonging cell division on cell morphology and the C+D periods. f Engineering the C+D periods of cell division for improving specific surface area (SSA) or mean cell volume (MCV). Significance (p-value) was evaluated by two-sided t-test, compared to CT. a, b Values are shown as mean ± s.d. from three (n = 3) biological independent replicates. Source data underlying Fig. 3a, b are provided as a Source data file.
