摘要
As yeast are starved of nutrients, they enter G(0), a quiescent state. Quiescent yeast (Q) cells retain viability for extended periods of time and resume growth following supplementation of missing nutrients. As such, Q cells have become a valuable model for studying longevity and self-renewal of chronologically aged cells. Traditional isolation of Q cells involves a relatively long centrifugation time through a continuous density gradient. Here, we describe a rapid and cost-effective Q-cell isolation technique that uses a single-density, one-step gradient prepared from media containing iodixanol.
