Figure 7. Deletion of gnt2 gene results in increased cell aggregation and aberrant septum morphology.
(A) Light (upper panels) and fluorescence (lower panels) micrographs of GS II-FITC labelled swollen spores (after 3 h incubation in PDB) from wild type (wt), Δgnt2 mutant and cΔgnt2 complemented strains. Scale bars, 10 µm. (B) Transmission electron micrographs showing aggregation and ultra-structure characteristics of 14 h-old germlings from the indicated strains. Black arrows, septa; white arrows, cell-to-cell contact area; black star, extracellular matrix.
