a Asymmetric cell divisions late in the transition to quiescence radically reduce the modal cell volume of post DS (blue) and log phase (black) cells b Cells grown for 24 hours differentiate into three very distinct cell types. R1 cells are the small daughters of the asymmetric cell division, R2 cells are the non-quiescent mothers, and R3 are the quiescent cells that can be purified by density gradient sedimentation. Log phase cells have uniform light scattering properties (see (Li, et al. 2013) for details.)
