Effect of an rdi1Δ/Δ mutation on cell morphology
| Strain | Length | Width | Length/width |
|---|---|---|---|
| BWP17 pseudohyphal form | 7.8 ± 0.9 | 2.6 ± 0.1 | 3.0 ± 0.4 |
| rdi1Δ/Δ | 7.9 ± 0.8 | 2.8 ± 0.1 | 2.9 ± 0.3 |
| rga2Δ/Δ bem3Δ/Δ | 11.3 ± 1.0 | 2.1 ± 0.1 | 5.4 ± 0.4 |
| rga2Δ/Δ bem3Δ/Δ rdi1Δ/Δ | 9.2 ± 0.7 | 2.4 ± 0.1 | 3.9 ± 0.3 |
| BWP17 (H) | 17.0 ± 1.5 | 1.7 ± 0.06 | 10.3 ± 0.9 |
Measurements were made on 50 cells 100 min after inoculation of stationary phase cells into pseudohyphal-inducing conditions (YEPD, pH 6.0, 36°C), or, where indicated (H), into hyphal inducing conditions (YEPD, pH 7.0, plus 20% serum). Errors are 95% confidence limits.
