Test of strain RNAi20 for pregamete to gamete conversion. (A) Kinetics of pregamete to gamete conversion. Pregametes of the wild-type (CC-124) and the RNAi20 strains were generated by incubation in TAP-N medium for 16 h in the dark. The fluence rate of white light used was 0.64 μmol⋅m⁻²⋅s⁻¹. (B) Fluence response curves for pregamete to gamete conversion of strain RNAi20 and wild type. Pregametes were irradiated for 90 min with white light of the fluences indicated. Generation of pregametes and assay for gametes after irradiation were done as described in Fig. 2.
