aESP, early saturation phase; LSP, late saturation phase.
bWhite or opaque cells were grown at 25°C in supplemented Lee's medium for 36 h to early saturation phase or for 48 h to late stationary phase, and diluted into fresh medium at 2 × 106/ml. Cells were then incubated for 8 h.
cFor pheromone-treated cells (+), pheromone was added every hour for 7 h, then cells were harvested at 8 h. Untreated (−) cells were also harvested at 8 h.
