The Structure of Populations of Budding Yeast in Response to Feedback
In this article the authors describe how the hypothesis of a feedback mechanism involving inter-cellular communication, consistent with known yeast physiological mechanisms, couples growth and division to produce non-stationary, multimodal population densities, that are collected into an integer number of clusters arrayed along the cell cycle. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations demonstrate that the cell cycle progression of these clusters produces observable oscillation in environmental variables such as dissolved oxygen. The authors present experimental data and theoretical simulations in support of a model of the periodic population structure that is composed of two clusters.
The article by Chris C. Stowers, Todd R. Young and Erik M. Boczko is available in the latest issue of Hy-LS

The first issue of Hypotheses in the Life Sciences is now published online. Hypotheses in the Life Sciences (HyLS), the important new forum for ideas in the life sciences, is published by Buckingham University Press. Leading research journals Nature and Science have both noted and welcomed the launch of this important new open access journal. HyLS’s mission is to publish rigorously argued, if untested, scientific ideas, to bring the best new scientific thinking into the mainstream of scientific research. Original papers will present new insights that explain biological processes or mechanisms. Papers will be reviewed by an Editorial Board of eminent life science researchers, as well as external peer reviewers as needed. |
