The Structure of Populations of Budding Yeast in Response to Feedback

Erik Miklos Boczko, Chris C Stowers, Todd R Young

Abstract


We describe how the hypothesis of 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. We present experimental data and theoretical simulations that support our model of the periodic population structure that develops during autonomous oscillations.
