Summary of clone phenotypes under various growth conditions. a. Comparison of two basic phenotypes: R (rimless "wild type") and F (rimmed) Top: appearance of colonies at given time-points; middle - sketches (contours and cross-sections) of fully developed colonies; bottom - time-course of colony growth (N = 10-16 for each point, +/- SD). b. Dependence of colony patterning (7 days old) on the density of planting (shown below the figures; bar = 1 cm). Note confluent colonies characteristic by their separate centers and common rim (black arrow), undeveloped (dormant) forms (white arrow), and an undifferentiated macula formed at high plating density (right).
