Title: Singling Individual Yeast Cells Post by: Yeast2meetU on Jun 16, 2015 Would it be possible to single individual yeast cells at home without the need for a micromanipulator? what is the cost of the cheapest micromanipulator if this isn't possible?
/pubmed/13666896 i found this, which may supply the answer but I couldn't find access to the text (also couldnt link the website due to account status). Thanks! Title: Re: Singling Individual Yeast Cells Post by: bio_man on Jun 16, 2015 It is possible:

Title: Re: Singling Individual Yeast Cells Post by: doubleu on Jun 16, 2015 This sort of thing is rarely done on a single cell.
If you want to study growth, use selective growth medium. I have no clue how to isolate a single cell, never needed it. |
