The formation of a mathematical theory of a cell population requires the ability to specify quantitatively the physiological state of individual cells of the population. In procaryotic cells (bacteria and blue-green algae), the intracellular structure is of a relatively simple nature, and it is postulated that the physiological state of such a cell is specified by its biochemical composition. If the growth rate of a cell and its fission probability depend only on the cell's current physiological state and on the current state of the cell's environment, then an equation of change for the distribution of physiological states in a population can be derived. In addition,an equation of change for the state of the cellular environment can be obtained. These equations allow prediction of the statistical and dynamical behavior of a cell population from information obtained by analysis of cellular and subcellular structure and function. || ABSTRACT AUTHORS: Authors
