Fig 5. Farnesol disrupts cytokinesis and interferes with filamentous development of HBR1 heterozygous cells embedded in agar.

Fig 5

Photomicrographs taken in situ of HBR1/hbr1 cells embedded in YPS agar containing 50 μM farnesol after 2 days at 24°C. (A). Filament formation from a spindle-shaped colony growing in the deepest level of the agar matrix. Bar = 500 μm (B). Increased magnification of (A) illustrating irregular pseudohyphal-like filaments erupting from the interior of a spindle colony. Bar = 100 μm (C). Higher magnifications of individual filaments illustrating defective cytokinesis. Inset, a filament illustrating infrequent septum-like constrictions (arrowheads). Bar = 5 μm.
