Ectopic expression of the flocculins promotes filamentous growth.
Strains expressing different flocculin genes from the
GAL1 promoter were streaked to SLAR + Gal plates
(A) or SLAD plates (B), grown for 4 days,
and photographed before and after washing. Yeast strains: WT (WY454),
flo11/flo11 (WY449),
flo11/flo11
GAL1-FIG2/GAL1-FIG2 (WY452),
flo11/flo11
GAL1-FLO1/GAL1-FLO1 (WY450),
flo11/flo11
GAL1-FLO10/GAL1-FLO10 (WY451), and
flo11/flo11
GAL1-FLO11/GAL1-FLO11 (WY415).
