Colony morphology on solid and liquid media. (a) Colony morphology of both wild-type (1) and heterozygote mutant (2) strains grown on PDA at 30°C clearly indicates an increase in filamentation and invasivness of the mutant compared to the wild type. (30x magnification). (b) Cell morphology in PDB media after 24 h incubation at 37°C (1000x magnification).
