Abstract excerpt
The applicability of the free radical theory of aging to the yeast S. cerevisiae is a matter of debate. In order to get an insight into this question, we studied the reproductive potential (the number of buds produced), reproductive lifespan (the time during which a yeast cell is able to divide), postreproductive lifespan (duration of life of yeast cells which ceased to divide) and total lifespan (sum of...
