The life cycle of biomedical and agriculturally relevant eukaryotic microorganisms involves complex transitions between proliferative and non-proliferative states such as dormancy, mating, meiosis, and cell division. New drugs, pesticides, and vaccines can be created by targeting specific life cycle stages of parasites and pathogens. However, defining the structure of a microbial life cycle often relies on partial observations that are theoretically assembled in an ideal life cycle path.

Objectives: While it is clear that cells need to grow before committing to division at the G1/S transition of the cell cycle, how cells sense their growth rate or size at the molecular level is unknown. It has been proposed that, in budding yeast, the dilution of the Whi5 G1/S transcriptional repressor as cells grow in G1 is the main driver of G1/S commitment. This model implies that Whi5 synthesis is substantially reduced in G1 phase.

The size of a cell sets the scale for all biochemical processes within it, thereby affecting cellular fitness and survival. Hence, cell size needs to be kept within certain limits and relatively constant over multiple generations. However, how cells measure their size and use this information to regulate growth and division remains controversial.
