Partial synchronisation of glycolytic oscillations in yeast cell populations.

ABSTRACT: The transition between synchronized and asynchronous behaviour of immobilized yeast cells of the strain Saccharomyces carlsbergensis was investigated by monitoring the autofluorescence of the coenzyme NADH. In populations of intermediate cell densities the individual cells remained oscillatory, whereas on the level of the cell population both a partially synchronized and an asynchronous state were accessible for experimental studies. In the partially synchronized state, the mean oscillatory frequency was larger than that of the cells in the asynchronous state. This suggests that synchronisation occurred due to entrainment by the cells that oscillated more rapidly. This is typical for synchronisation due to phase advancement. Furthermore, the synchronisation of the frequency of the glycolyt
