Fig. 2.

Cell morphology comparison among the Δcap64 strain, the wild-type strain KN3501α, and the CAP64 complement strain KGU 10016. Cells were grown in YPD medium for 6 or 24 h and observed microscopically (a). Cells were classified into a single cell group (a), a two-cell connected group (b), a three-cell connected group (c), and a group of four or more connected cells (d). The number of cells in each group was counted and the ratio to the total number of cells observed in each culture was expressed as a percentage (b).
