Additional Details

• The median volume of a haploid yeast cell in exponential phase growing in YPD at 30°C is 42 fl (measured by Coulter counter). Jorgensen et al. 2002 PMID 12089449
• The mean volume of a haploid yeast cell in exponential phase growing in YPD at 30°C is 37 fl. Tyson et al. 1979 PMID 374379
• The mean haploid cell volume is 70 fl. Sherman et al. 2002 PMID 12073320
• The mean haploid cell volume is 83 fl. Tamaki et al. 2005 PMID 15743410

• The cytosol accounts for approximately 50% of the total cell volume for another yeast species, Exophiala dermatitidis (Biswas et al. 2003 PMID 12868584).

• We assume the total volume accessible to cytosolic proteins is (37 fl + 42 fl + 70 fl + 83 fl)/4 * 0.5 = 29 fl.
