Query: Statistical properties and dynamics of phenotype components in
  individual bacteria   Cellular phenotype is characterized by different components such as cell
size, protein content and cell cycle time. These are global variables that are
the outcome of multiple internal microscopic processes. Accordingly, they
display some universal statistical properties and scaling relations, such as
distribution collapse and relation between moments. Cell size statistics and
its relation to growth and division has been mostly studied separately from
proteins and other cellular variables. Here we present experimental and
theoretical analyses of these phenotype components in a unified framework that
reveals their correlations and interactions inside the cell. We measure these
components simultaneously in single cells over dozens of generations, quantify
their correlations, and compare population to temporal statistics. We find that
cell size and highly expressed proteins have very similar dynamics over growth
and division cycles, which result in parallel statistical properties, both
universal and individual. In particular, while distribution shapes of
fluctuations along time are common to all cells and components, other
properties are variable and remain distinct in individual cells for a
surprisingly large number of generations. These include temporal averages of
cell size and protein content, and the structure of their auto-correlation
functions. We explore possible roles of the different components in controlling
cell growth and division. We find that in order to stabilize exponential
accumulation and division of all components across generations, coupled
dynamics among them is required. Finally, we incorporate effective coupling
within the cell cycle with a phenomenological mapping across consecutive
cycles, and show that this model reproduces the entire array of experimental
observations.
