  Yeast Sporulation and Germination
The screen for sporulation and germination mutants is illustrated here in a simplified pool of 4 strains: grey (no sporulation), red (enhanced sporulation), blue (germination defect), and green (phenotypically normal).
Prior to sporulation, an aliquot of the pool is collected and the abundance of each strain measured on an oligonucleotide array (Part A).
Strain S288c sporulates to 15% efficiency, therefore non-sporulated vegetative cells were selectively degraded with zymolyase (Part B).

  Sporulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sporulation is the developmental process by which a fungal cell, amoeba, bacteria or protozoan becomes a spore.
Sporulation can be triggered by adverse conditions, or as part of asexual reproduction.
The bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Neurospora crassa (red bread mold) are commonly used as laboratory organisms to study sporulation.

 The Neurospora Sporulation Rhythm
The oscillations can be seen as regular-repeating zones of sporulation when the mycel is placed on agar-medium under DD conditions: during the growth sporulation occurs every 22 h (when using the wild-type bd-mutant).
Racetubes have the advantage that the mycel can grow over a larger distance and that the period of the sporulation can be easily determined as the distance between conidiation peaks when the growth velocity is known.
This is simply done by measuring the distance between the centers of neighboring sporulation areas and dividing this distance by the growth velocity.
