Organelle partitioning in the multi-budding yeast Aureobasidium pullulans

Cellular organelle content is fairly constant within a given cell type. This is accomplished in part by ensuring equitable organelle partitioning during division. Much of our understanding of organelle inheritance has come from investigating cells that divide in half producing tw...

Organelle scaling over a 100-fold cell size range

ABSTRACT Cell size in a proliferating cell population generally varies over a limited range (∼2-4-fold). Within such populations, organelle content increases with cell size maintaining a relatively constant organelle density (amount per cell volume). However, cells of different t...
