Control of Daughter-Cell Number Variation in Multiple Fission: Genetic versus Environmental Determinants in; Prototheca Journal Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • ; Prototheca zopfii; has been developed as an experimental system for studying the control of cytokinesis and daughter-cell number variation in multiple fission. Although mean daughter-cell number increases linearly with growth rate, and this dependency is genetically controlled, pedigree analysis shows that daughter-cell number; variation; is not under direct genetic control. In a population growing in steady-state balanced growth, each cell has a given probability of dividing into 2, 4, 8 16, or 32 daughter-cells. These probabilities are independent of the division number of the cell in the preceding generation, and can be altered by changes in the culture medium.;
