Individual-based modelling is beginning to establish itself as a viable alternative for investigating microbial systems. The individual-based model INDISIM-YEAST deals with the evolution of a yeast culture, a population with mother cells of different genealogical ages and daughter cells, by setting up rules of behaviour for each yeast according to its own rules and characteristics. It takes into account the uptake, metabolism, budding reproduction and viability of the yeast cells over a period of time in the bulk of a liquid medium, occupying a closed space with different substrates. A revised and parameterized version of INDISIM-YEAST has been implemented in the widely used, free, open source software platform NetLogo. This provides full access to this simulation model for interested microbiologists and enables them to explore the effects of inoculum characteristics on the first stages of a growing yeast population in silico, taking into account the great influence of the discrete and asymmetrical nature of yeast cellular division. In addition, this increases its overall understandability.
