Abstract excerpt
Haploid yeast invades solid agar in response to nutrient limitation. To decipher the cues that underlie invasion, we have developed a single cell invasive growth assay. Using this assay, as well as the traditional plate-washing assay, we show that invasive growth occurs in response to glucose depletion. In the absence of glucose (or other fermentable sugar), individual cells adopted a nonaxial budding pattern and...
