Flow Cytometry and Fluorescence Microscopy as Tools for Structural and Functional Analysis of Vacuoles Isolated from Yeast and Plant Cells
2018
: A series of optimized protocols to isolate vacuoles from both yeast and plant cells, and to characterize the purified organelles at a functional and structural level, are described. For this purpose, we took advantage of the combined use of cell fractionation techniques with different fluorescence-based approaches namely flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy and spectrofluorimetry. These protocols altogether constitute valuable tools for the study of vacuole structure and function, as well as for the high-throughput screening of drug libraries to identify new molecules that target the vacuole.
