Abstract
A method is described which allows estimation of the lengths of the cell cycle phases of Saccharomyces cerevisiae from asynchronous culture data. It is based upon a DNA labelling and nuclear staining procedure which is related to known features of yeast physiology. Estimates obtained indicate that the lengths of the periods of DNA synthesis (S phase) and mitosis (M phase) are relatively independent of the carbon source on which the culture was grown, whilst the lengths of the G1 and G2 phases show considerable variation.
