| Abstract: | The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe was grown in the chemostat at D = 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.20 h-1. The dry weight and substrate quantities, the number of cells and their morphological characteristics were determined in the steady state. The curves for the cell number and dry weight demonstrate changes in the coordination between the processes of cell growth and division at various growth rates. The cell division was shown to be asymmetric under the conditions of substrate limitation. |
