[Changes in the volutin levels in yeast cells during cell cycle]
Abstract:
Dimeric distribution of the cell number of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is analysed according to the volume and content of volutin in them. Dynamics of the age composition of the population in time when changing the medium limiting growth for the balanced one is considered. The data obtained indicate that volutin may serve as a regulator when the yeast cells pass the starting point in the division cycle, however, this event has no contrary effect on volutin accumulation.
