<i>Gea1+/−</i> cells exhibit alterations in septum number and morphology.

<p>A. Wild-type and <i>gea1</i>+/− cells were stained with calcofluor white to visualize septa and imaged by fluorescence microscopy. Scale bar, 10 µM. B. Quantification of A. Cells were scored as having abnormal septa if multiple septa were present, or if the septum was mislocalized, abnormally thick, or forked. Error bars represent mean ± SD from 3 independent experiments. C. Wild-type and <i>gea1</i>+/− cells were subjected to transmission electron microscopy to visualize septum defects. Representative images of multi-septated cells and septa with morphological abnormalities are shown. Scale bar, 1 µm.
