Cell wall growth of an asynchronous culture of Schizosaccharomyces pombe was studied by fluorescence microscopy and time‐lapse cinematography. The cell wall growth of individual cells is a time‐ordered process which can be divided into 4 stages: post‐division stage, stage of growth initiation, stage of extension growth, and constant length stage. Different aspects of these stages are discussed. During the exponential phase of growth the population has a rather stable structure from the point of view of division scar numbers. The significance of the division scars for the study of cell wall growth and multiplication is discussed.
