The fluorescent dye Calcofluor was used to stain bud scars. Two different modes of site selection were observed in yeasts. On cells cultivated at 23–28 °C, buds emerged primarily at one end of the cell at adjacent sites suggesting a type of persistent memory. Sites selected on yeasts growing at 37 °C were non-adjacent and scattered over the cell. The pattern of bud emergence during resumption of budding from stationary phase, or after temperature shift between conditions, was not a simple transition between modes. During these transitions the budding pattern sequentially passed through non-adjacent and adjacent budding modes before establishing the pattern characteristic of the growth temperature. Germ tubes emerged in a non-adjacent pattern from cells grown to stationary phase at 28 °C. The higher frequency of non-adjacent emergence and the absence of sequential pattern changing in site selection for germ tubes suggested that non-adjacent site selection for germ tubes and buds might not be the same., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-130-2-431
