Description
Summary:<p>(<b>A</b>) Colony and cellular morphologies of the haploid and auto-diploid strains. Fungal cells were plated onto YPD medium and incubated at 30 °C for 4 days. Scale bars: 1 mm for colonies; 5 μm for cells. (<b>B</b>) FACS analysis of the genomic DNA content. (<b>C</b>) PCR verification of the <i>MTL</i> locus. The <i>MTL</i><b>a</b>/α diploid (JX1016) strain served as the control. (<b>D</b>) Frequency of auto-diploidization. Haploid strains were plated onto YPD medium and incubated at 30 °C for 4 days. Then, all colonies were collected for DNA content analyses using flow cytometry assays. Frequency of auto-diploidization =  total number of diploid colonies/total number of colonies × 100%. Three biological replicates were performed. (<b>E</b>) Growth curves. Approximately 1 × 10<sup>6</sup> cells from a single colony were inoculated into liquid YPD medium and incubated at 30 °C. The growth state was monitored by measuring the OD<sub>600</sub> at the indicated time points. Three biological replicates of each strain were performed.
