Comparison of Dynamic Rates in Different Systems

Organism		Growth rate		Shrinkage rate		Catastrophe frequency		Rescue frequency
		μm/min				s−1
S. cerevisiae  (in vivo)*		0.491  ±  0.163		1.350  ±  0.710		0.006		0.002
S. cerevisiae  (in vivo)‡		0.510  ±  0.050		0.430  ±  0.043		0.001		−
Mammalian§		7.6   −  19.7		15.0    −    32.2		0.035   −  0.046		0.033  − 0.133

Rates are shown ± SD.  

^* This study.  

^‡ Rates were converted from dimers/s to μm/min (Davis et al., 1993).  

^§ The range of rates from three different cell types is shown (Dhamodharan and Wadsworth, 1995).
