Boric Acid Disturbs Cell Wall Synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Figure 4

Appearance of the actomyosin rings in BA-treated cells. (a) Localization of Myo1GFP. Increasing concentrations of BA leads to irregular localization of Myo1GFP. Images show samples of normal, uneven rings not centered at the bud neck (u) and ectopic localization (e) of Myo1GFP patches. Note that at 0.4% BA Myo1GFP forms rings at locations other than the bud site that appear as bands in the selected images (arrows). (b) Localization of actin. The selection of images shows that increasing concentrations of BA causes actin rings to appear blurred (b) and uneven/not centered at the bud neck (u).
