Ultrastructural changes of yeast cells after desiccated for 1 to 10 days. a Wild type cells growing in YPD medium for 3 days, then dried for 1 day, showing a similar structure to non-desiccated cells as in Fig. 1b. b Wild type cells growing in YPD medium for 3 days, then dried for 2 days, showing less cristae in mitochondria and light-stained spots in vacuole (arrows). c Wild type cells growing in YPD medium for 3 days, then dried for 5 days, showing the light-stained spot in vacuole (outline arrow), and the engulfment lipid droplets by the vacuole. d Wild type cells growing in YPD medium for 3 days, then dried for 10 days, showing ER membrane surrounded lipid droplets. N = nucleus, V = vacuole, LD = lipid droplet, m = mitochondrion
