A modular model integrating metabolism, growth, and cell cycle predicts that fermentation is required to modulate cell size in yeast populations.

For unicellular organisms, the reproduction rate and growth are crucial fitness determinants and functional manifestations of the organism genotype. Using the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism, we integrated metabolism, which provides energy and building blocks for growth, w...
