title: Kinetic study of cell proliferation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains by sedimentation/steric field flow fractionation in situ.
abstract: The technique of Sedimentation/Steric Field Flow Fractionation (Sd/StFFF) is applied to the kinetic study of cells proliferation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. The experimental parameter varied is the time from the preparation of the yeast sample dispersion in the culture medium. The determination of the size and mass distributions of the yeast cells is combined with the growth of the yeast cells and their life cycle. The experimental results are compared with those obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and those found in the literature. Useful conclusions concerning the budding and the fission of these yeast cells were extracted.
