Table 2. Cell length at division of S. pombe ypa and ppa mutants.
| Cell length (μm) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Strain | 32° | 19° |
| Wild type | 15.8 ± 0.8 | 14.1 ± 1.1 |
| ppa1−Δ | 13.4 ± 0.7 | 13.1 ± 1.0 |
| ppa2−Δ | 10.1 ± 1.4 | 11.8 ± 1.0 |
| ppa2-6 | 11.7 ± 1.0 | 9.6 ± 0.9 |
| ypa1−Δ | 14.1 ± 1.4 | 12.6 ± 1.4 |
| ypa2−Δ | 9.6 ± 0.9 | 9.6 ± 0.7 |

Cells were grown to exponential phase in YE medium at 32°; a fraction of the culture was shifted to 19° for 20 hr. Samples were taken before and after shift and cell length was determined as described in Materials and Methods. Length of septating cells is indicated, with standard deviation: n = 50 for each condition.
