Labeling of Fal2-S1 transfectants with BODIPY-TR ceramide at trophozoite stage. GFP fluorescence is seen overlapping with fluorescence by BODIPY-TR in the PV and food vacuole membrane. Some of the small foci having GFP fluorescence near PV (solid arrows), show overlap with fluorescence by BODIPY-TR. Some of these foci in panel IV are seen fused with the food vacuole (arrow head).
