Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 1. Effects of WdSTUA disruption on growth and colony morphology on YPDA at 25°C and 37°C. (A) Yeast cells were spotted (5 l) at 105, 104, 103, and 102 concentrations on YPDA and incubated at 25°C and 37°C. After 4 days, the growth at the spots was photographed without magnification, whereas the surface morphologies at the spots inoculated with the 102 yeast concentration were visualized with a dissecting microscope and also photographed. WT, wild type. (B) Wild-type and Wdstua1A strains cultured with shaking in YPDB at 37°C to late log phase were visualized with a compound light microscope and then photographed. Note that the Wdstua1A strain produced more hyphae that tended to be aggregated. Scale bar, 10 m (applicable to the growth in both photomicrographs).
