Dear Folks,
A research group here wants to label fungal aerial hyphae in vivo
to measure the thickness of the growth. The fungi's integrity whilst
growing on the agar plate cannot be compromised. Does anyone know of
fluorescent dyes which can be added to the medium and become incorporated
in the cell walls or other elements (possibly vacuoles?) within the walls
to provide us with a much better signal to noise ratio.
Many thanks, Colin
