FIG. 6.

Localization of SMC and FtsZ in the aerial hyphae. (A) Immunolocalization of SMC protein in a strain expressing FtsZ-EGFP fusion protein. The strain was grown for 44 h on solid minimal medium. SMC immunofluorescence is visible as red, FtsZ-EGFP as green, and cell walls in grey scale. The alphanumerical abbreviations indicate developmental stages as shown in panel B of the figure. Scale bar, 5 μm. (B) Developmental stages. Table showing percentages of aerial hyphae falling into specific developmental subclasses. (100% = 105 apical compartments). Boldface indicates the most frequently observed stages.
