Acceleration of monospore migration by calcium ionophore A23187

	Percentage of migrating monospores (%)a
	1 h	2 h	3 h
ESL	24.5±3.7	56.1±2.3	84.2±2.4
A23187 (1 μM)	61.9±0.9	71.7±3.2	80.1±3.0

Freshly released monospores were treated with or without calcium ionophore A23187, and then the migrating and spherical monospores were counted at 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h after incubation. Three replicate experiments performed with more than 50 monospores independently.

^aValues indicate mean±SD.
