Flow cytometry is important tool for investigating DNA replication in sporulating Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, flow cytometry data from maturing spores is often difficult to interpret due to extensive broadening of the fluorescence peaks. This problem is markedly improved by treatment of the spores with potassium hydroxide prior to staining.
流式细胞术是研究酿酒酵母孢子形成过程中DNA复制的重要工具。然而,由于荧光峰的广泛展宽,成熟孢子的流式细胞术数据往往难以解释。在染色前用氢氧化钾处理孢子可显著改善这一问题。
