title: Synchronization of cell division in microorganisms by percoll gradients.
abstract: We describe a method for obtaining synchronously dividing cells of bacteria (Escherichia coli B and K-12 and Bacillus subtilis 168) and fission yeasts (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) by the use of Percoll density gradients.
