Prodiginine biosynthesis causes massive loss of viable filaments. SYTOX (blue) and SYTO9 (green) staining of cross sections of culture of S. coelicolor M145 (wild-type, WT) and its redD null mutant inoculated in R2YE agar plates. Bars, 40 μm. Note that (i) the PCD round prior to PdG production also occurs at 30 h in the redD null mutant of S. coelicolor, and (ii) the higher accumulation of viable filaments (only stained by SYTO9) in the redD mutant. Quantification of the SYTOX and SYTO9 fluorescence signals are displayed in plots next to the microscopy pictures.
