Before revision:  We collected data on single-cell growth and cell cycle progression in S . cerevisiae in several growth media and estimated the distributions of ] ] size at birth and interdivision time as well as their correlations throughout cell lineages. We also performed the same analysis on previously collected data on single-cell growth and division in E. coli. The results are in quantitative agreement with the predictions of the incremental model , which leads to the ] addition of a constant volume ( up to fluctuations), independent of size at birth, between birth and division;
