TABLE 1. G1 parameters in different nutrients of wild type and tda1∆/tda1∆ cellsa.
a The strains were in the homozygous diploid BY4743 background. They were examined in at least 3 independent experiments, and in each experiment a technical duplicate was evaluated. The cells were cultured in 1% w/v yeast extract, 2% w/v peptone and the indicated amount of the carbon source shown in each case.
b Birth size was calculated from the size distributions of exponentially proliferating asynchronous populations, as described previously [15]. The average of at least three independent measurements, with a technical duplicate for each measurement, and the associated standard deviation are shown in each case.
c The specific rate of size increase (k) and critical size were calculated from elutriated synchronous cultures as we described previously [17], assuming an exponential mode of growth. The average of at least three independent experiments and the associated standard deviation are shown in each case.
d These are G1 estimates from the formula: G1(hours)=Ln(Critical size/Birth size)/k. Note that these values reflect the G1 length of newborn daughter cells. For G1 length calculations, the errors (± sd) were not propagated.
