Initial nutrient condition determines the recovery speed of quiescent cells in fission yeast

“…Thus, the effect of initial OD on T recovery cannot be simply explained by either glucose or VM. Given that most yeast quorum sensing systems primarily function in proliferating cells for either adaptive growth or development and require a threshold cell concentration [ 54 ], it is unlikely that the correlation between TCR and a wide range of OD in non-growing population is regulated by quorum sensing. Instead, the correlation is more likely due to the relationship between population density and single-cell nutrients availability.…”
