Yeast cells were grown under the conditions described above, harvested at early exponential phase, suspended in PBS, incubated with 0.02% (w/v) Calcofluor White (CFW, Fluka, St. Louis, MO) for 30 min at room temperature, and washed 3 times with PBS. Cells were observed using a Leica Microsystems DM-5000B epifluorescence microscope with appropriate filter settings using a 100x oil-immersion objective. Images were acquired with a Leica DCF350FX digital camera and processed with LAS AF Leica Microsystems software.
