Figure 1 Fluorescent protein fusions in Candida albicans. Useful fluorescent markers for tracking subcellular structures in C. albicans include: DAPI (DNA); Nop1-GFP (green fluorescent protein, localizing to the nucleolus); Hhf1-GFP (chromatin); Tub2-GFP (microtubules, green); and Tub4-mCherry fluorescent protein (spindle pole bodies, red).

Figure 2 Phenotypic switching in Candida albicans. Growth of C. albicans cells on phloxine plates detects colonies of cells that are either white (white colonies) or opaque (pink colonies) (left panel). A subset of cells in a mostly white colony switched to the opaque state, forming a sector in the colony (right panel). Photos courtesy of Meleah Hickman.
