Hyphal induction rate of the <i>C</i>. <i>albicans</i> strains.

(A) The plot shows the percent of filamentous cells in YPD medium at 30°C (-control). (B) Graph indicating the percent of filamentous cells after growth in GlcNAc medium. Cells were grown in liquid medium containing 50 mM GlcNAc to induce hyphal growth at 37°C for 2 h and then filamentous cells were counted. (C) The percent of filamentous cells in YPD medium at 30°C; green, weak filamentation; yellow, intermediate filamentation; pink, strong filamentation. Deletions indicated on the left are on chromosome 2 and they are heterozygous; the cells retain a wild-type version of chromosome 2. (A, B, and C) Shown is the mean ± SD of at least 3 independent experiments with at least 100 cells counted for each condition. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test comparing the strains with the WT or parental strain; NS p > 0.05, ** p (TIF)
