Table 1. Plugging of a septal pore depends on its position in the hypha and the presence of glucose in the medium.
Treatment | Septum* | Total number of Septa | Open Septa | Closed Septa | % Open Septa |
MM + glucose | 1 | 45 | 45 | 0 | 100 |
2 | 53 | 25 | 28 | 47 | |
3 | 14 | 1 | 13 | 7 | |
MM - glucose | 1 | 12 | 11 | 1 | 92 |
