Bicarbonate-mediated social communication stimulates meiosis and sporulation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Yeast (Chichester, England) - 1 May 1998

Abstract excerpt

Meiosis and sporulation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires social communication, mediated by an extracellular factor which is secreted from cells during sporulation and accumulates in a cell density-dependent manner. We show here genetic and biochemical analyses supporting our conclus...
