Abstract

Changes in the concentration of lipids were followed in synchronously dividing cells ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae. Cell division was found to induce a pronounced increase in the concentration of sterols and changes in the concentrations of other types of lipids. The changes associated with the division process are only transient.
