2'-Deoxyadenosine and A23187 as agents for inducing synchrony in the budding yeast, Kluyveromyces fragilis

The effects of induction synchrony by 2'-deoxyadenosine and the ionophore A23187 were compared with selection synchrony methods in Kluyveromyces fragilis. 2'-Deoxyadenosine synchronizes nuclear division and this is followed by synchronous cell division, but DNA synthesis is not synchronized. The ionophore A23187 also induces synchronous nuclear division and synchronous cell division, but likewise does not synchronize DNA synthesis.
