Phagocytosis of yeast and E. coli cells. a Quantitative analysis of TRITC-labeled yeast and b pHrodo E. coli uptake. Cells were resuspended at 2 × 10⁶ cells/ml in fresh axenic medium and an up to sixfold excess of fluorescent yeast cells and labeled bacteria as recommended by the supplier were added. Fluorescence of the internalized marker was measured at selected timepoints. In (a) data are presented as relative fluorescence that of Ax2 being considered as 100%. The data for Ax2 and corB ⁻ in (a) are from Shina et al. [16]
