| Method |
BB11 cell dimensions were determined using the confocal microscope measure function. Cell surface area and volume were calculated assuming that cells were prolate ellipsoidal spherical with a smooth cell surface. |
| Comments |
Saccharomyces cerevisiae reproduces asexually by budding and as a consequence of this process both mother and daughter cell retain chitinous scar tissue at the point of cytokinesis. Daughter cells exhibit a frail structure known as the birth scar, while mother cells display a more persistent bud scar. |
