Fig. 2. Actin dynamics are linked to respiratory function. (A) Wild-type,
end3 and sla1
118-511 cells were plated on media containing either glucose or the non-fermentable carbon source glycerol. Wild-type cells grew on both media, whereas both
end3 and sla1
118-511 cells were unable to grow on glycerol, indicating that these cells have a respiratory defect. (B,C) Mitochondrial morphology in log phase (B) and stationary phase (C) wild-type,
end and sla1
118-511 cells was assessed using a targeted GFP molecule. (D-F) Mitochondrial membranes were visualized by DiOC6 staining in wild-type (D),
end3 (E) and sla1
118-511 (F) cells at log phase. Bars, 10 µm.
