Abstract excerpt

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell surface outside of the bud scars displayed an increasing fluorescence intensity with increasing cell size (volume), where fluorescence was due to irreversible binding of the fluorescent dye calcofluor. The increase in fluorescence intensity appeared to be d...
