| Method |
Researchers calculated the volume in these different cellular compartments by imaging a cytoplasmicly expressed fluorescent protein and a fluorescent outer-membrane dye either simultaneously or individually. |
| Comments |
Researchers observe
two phases to the reduction in volume: an initial fast decrease and
a later slower stage. The rate of volume reduction in the faster
phase, dVn/dt, can be as high as 8% per second and depends on the
magnitude of the osmotic shock. |
