Pheromone confusion assay

Fig. 1. Resuits of a Mating Pheromone Confusion Assay. The mating efficiencies of wiid-type and mutant strains are determined in the presence and absence of a-factor. Both the wiid-type (CDC24) and the chemotropism functionai mutant cdc24-m6) ceiis show strongiy decreased mating in the presence of a-factor. The mating efficiency of ceiis carrying the chemotropism-defective aiieie cdc24-m1, however, is not affected by the pheromone (14), Copyright American Society for Microbioiogy.
