Summary

The kinetics of budding/dividing of parent cells at different culture ages, spread on a fresh medium, was formulated by the following model Nt=N∞ [1 − exp (−λ (t−tr)] where Nt is the number of budding/dividing cells in the parent population at time t, N∞ is the expected number of budding/dividing cells at infinite time, λ is the rate of budding/dividing of parent cells, and tr is the retardation time. The rate of budding/dividing λ decreased with the increase in the culture age of the parent cell population.
