Fig. 1: An agent-based model of yeast colony growth.

a Core life cycle algorithm of the agent-based model for each simulated yeast cell. b Colonies grown from a single-cell and from 1 and 3 μl droplets at the age of 8 days and their cross-sectional intensity profiles. Scale bar represents 1 cm. (Representative images from n = 4). c Illustrative simulations of the above experiments and their cross-sectional intensity profiles. Conversion: 55.6 simulated area units per mm².
