Figure 11From: GrlJ, a Dictyostelium GABAB-like receptor with roles in post-aggregation developmentSpore morphology in grlJ-. Spores obtained after 48 h of starvation from the respective strains were stained with 0.1% calcoflour for 10 min and observed under a fluorescent microscope (A). Rounded and misshaped spores were observed for the grlJ- strain, whereas in grlJ- expressing GrlJ-GFP spores exhibited a normal shape as seen in the parent A×2. The percentage of malformed spores is indicated in the lower panel (B).Back to article page
