Figure 2. Cleistothecia
from (a) recipient Monascus purpureus strain KB20M1 and (b) KB20M1
transformed with cosmid pMOcosX. |
Both cultures were grown for 10d on PDA. The arrow in (b) points to one of the variable-sized, relatively large structures that were produced instead of ascospores in the transformant. Both (a) and (b) were photographed at 600X. |
