title: Density fluctuation during the cell cycle in the defective vacuolar morphology mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: The buoyant densities of the yeast cells of defective vacuolar morphology mutants were examined by equilibrium sedimentation centrifugation in a Percoll density gradient. These vacuoleless mutants also show density fluctuation as wild-type cells during the cell cycle. This suggests that morphological changes of the vacuole are not related to cyclic density fluctuation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
