“…Combinations of up to four FPs have already been achieved in S. cerevisiae , including the use of FPs such as mTagBFP, mCherry, TagRFP-T, CFP or YFP; however, these were all optimized for live-cell imaging studies [ 20 , 33 , 34 ]. While compiling the present study, a parallel study was also published with a combination of up to three FPs, mTurquoise2, mCherry and YmPET whose genes were co-expressed in S. cerevisiae and the fluorescence recorded using a biolector [15] . All these approaches have in common the need for several excitation lasers, including a violet (405 nm) or yellow (561 nm) laser which are not commonly available in commercial flow cytometers.…”
