Transport of glucose and glycine in Schizosaccharomyces pombe during the cell cycle

Abstract
Cell growth and uptake of glucose and glycine during the cell cycle were studied in synchronous cultures of S. pombe. Rates of accumulation of glucose and glycine were constant during most of the cell cycle, implying a constant rate of cell mass increase. Rates of uptake of glycine appeared to double at an average cell age of 0.9 generations.
