PG Lord and AE Wheals
The kinetics of cell proliferation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied at 4 growth rates using time-lapse cinephotomicrography. Cells were grown on media with a high refractive index to reveal greater intracellular detail under the phase-contrast microscope. The morphological cell-cycle events scored were: bud emergence, nuclear migration, nuclear division, onset of cytokinesis and cell separation. Cell size was measured at cell separation and at bud emergence. The daughter-cycle time was always longer than the parent-cycle time mainly due to the large difference in the lengths of the unbudded phases. Parent cells had a shorter budded period than daughter cells. The large variance in daughter-cycle times was accounted for by the large variance in the lengths of the unbudded phase of daughter cells. The duration and variability of the periods in the cyclc from nuclear migration onwards were equivalent for parent and daughter cells. Daughter cells were always smaller than parent cells at division. There was wide variation in cell size at both division and bud emergence. The results indicated that a modified deterministic model could best explain cell proliferation kinetics in yeast. The data were used to evaluate 2 different models. The 'sloppy size control' model of Wheals (1981 a) was more consistent with the data than the 'tandem' model of Shilo, Shilo & Simchen (1976). The distribution of unbudded periods of daughter cells suggested that there was an additional incompressible period not present in parent cells.
