Life cycle of a budding yeast ascospore. False-color transmission electron microscopic images of the major time points of yeast ascospore germination. Top left is an ascus (Cyan) which shows three developing ascospores. Top right is a purified ascospore (Purple). Then in clockwise order are shown a hatching ascospore (Red), an elongating ascospore (Orange), the first budding of an ascospore (Yellow), and a vegetative yeast (Green).
