When stationary phase cells of the dimorphic yeast C. albicans are induced to synchronously form mycelia, over 90% of the cells undergo nuclear division. When stationary phase cells are induced to synchronously form buds, less than half undergo nuclear division even though all form buds. The majority of cells which do not undergo nuclear division form buds with volumes below a threshold value and the majority of cells which do undergo nuclear division form buds with volumes above this threshold value. The possibilities that cells which form small buds do not attain a particular mass threshold were investigated. Cell cultures were examined for DNA replication, dry weight and protein content during synchronous bud and during synchronous mycelium formation. The lack of nuclear division in over half of a budding population is due to low daughter cell volumes or to low surface areas and not to their failure to attain a mass threshold or to replicate their DNA. The dependency of nuclear division on daughter cell volume is discussed.
