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 Table gives Relationship between age and cell size in BB11 polyploid strain. Values for haploid and diploid strains demonstrated to be considerably lower.
