Abstract:The shift of a synchronous culture of the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, from a poor to a rich medium resulted in division delay.The mean time period from the shift till division was nearly constant, regardless of the time of shift in the cell cycle.The time period from the shift till division of the individual cells was negatively proportional to cell size at the shift. The division size of the shifted cells was larger than that of exponentially proliferating cells.From these results, the dependenc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
