Figure Lengend Snippet: Rhizopus arrhizus var delemar cells immunostained with mAb TG11 at different stages of spore swelling, germination, and hyphal growth. A , Composite photomicrographs (top) and individual channels (middle, bottom) of R arrhizus strain 99-880 with DAPI filters for CFW and Cy5 filters for TG11 + GAM-Cy5. Cells are stained with TG11 + GAM-Cy5 (bottom panel) and CFW (middle panel). Representative cells from liquid culture after 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 hours of incubation were imaged to visualize binding by mAb TG11 at different stages of cell growth. B , Time-lapse image series of a single live R arrhizus cell grown in media containing CFW and directly conjugated TG11-Cy5 and collected every 20 minutes. Note that indicated times are from the start of imaging with spores pregerminated for 2.5 hours. TG11 is seen to stain the growing hypha, highlighted in the adjacent schematic and Cy5 channel panels below. C , Representative negative controls: i , CFW, secondary only; ii , no CFW, TG11 + GAM-Cy5. Scale bars: 20 μm. CFW, calcofluor white; GAM-Cy5, Cy5-conjugated goat anti-mouse polyclonal IgG; mAb, monoclonal antibody.
