Goal: To measure and understand how expansion of the bacterial cell wall depends on
mechanical force.
Vibrio

The osmotic pressure within bacteria is much higher than atmospheric pressure.

The bacterial cell wall is a cross-linked polymeric gel that encloses the cell.

Mechanical stress the in cell wall balances the turgor pressure and stretches the wall.
Does stress also determine strain rate of the cell wall, i.e., growth rate of the cell?

This growth in size of the cells appears to be the result of the progressive effect of endosmosis. They distend under the influence of the liquid, and gradually expand like soap bubbles expand under the influence of air which distends them. Cell walls themselves are composed of molecules, and also experience development, particularly the trend of expansion.
