Abstract excerpt
Multicellular fungi have repeatedly given rise to primarily unicellular yeast species. Some of these, including the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, can revert to multicellular-like phenotypes (MLPs). As MLP formation remains understudied in fission yeast compared with budding yeast, we aimed to narrow this gap. We developed high-throughput assays for two MLPs: flocculation and surface adhesion, which...
