Yeast strain transformed with empty pUG35 plasmid was used as control (pUG35). Yeast suspensions were spotted in 10-fold dilution on solid YNB plates without or with 1.5 M KCl or 2.1 M sorbitol. Growth was recorded after two weeks at 28°C. Photographs shown are representative of three independent experiments with consistent results.</p>
