(B) Fluorescence microscopical analysis. Wild‐type, rho0, and Δatg7 cells expressing prATG8‐GFP‐ATG8 were grown as described in (A) and exposed to amino‐acid (left panel, galactose) or nitrogen starvation (right panel, glucose (‐N)) for 6 h. Vacuoles were visualized by over night FM4‐64 (1 μM) staining (red). Arrowhead indicates a punctate GFP‐Atg8 structure. Transmission and fluorescence light microscopy images were superimposed to visualize cellular boundaries. Cellular localization of GFP signal was analysed in at least 150 cells (n⩾150) for each strain and condition. Scale bars represent 1.5 μm.
