A dielectric method has already been developed for the real-time monitoring of cell cycle progression in synchronized cell culture (Asami et al., 1999). This method, in combination with DNA content analysis by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), was applied to the synchronized cell culture of a CDC28-13th mutant (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). In synchronous cell growth, relative permittivity epsilon (or dielectric constant) for the culture broth showed cyclic changes at low frequencies below 0.5 MHz, being correlated to phases in the cell cycle that were simultaneously determined by FACS. The epsilon increased in the period from S phase to G(2) phase and decreased between M and G(1) phases. Peaks in these cyclic changes of epsilon indicated the time when daughter cells segregated from mother cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D002453 Cell Cycle The complex series of phenomena, occurring between the end of one CELL DIVISION and the end of the next, by which cellular material is duplicated and then divided between two daughter cells. The cell cycle includes INTERPHASE, which includes G0 PHASE; G1 PHASE; S PHASE; and G2 PHASE, and CELL DIVISION PHASE.

D004271 DNA, Fungal Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of fungi. Fungal DNA
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
