ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of forming distinctive intravacuolar structures that are unique to fungal cells and can be correlated with cell viability. The preferred dyes of the present invention are described by the formula: ##STR1## wherein each R.sup.1 is independently H; or an alkyl group having from 1-6 carbons; or a trifluoromethyl; or a halogen; or --OR.sup.6, --SR.sup.6 or --(NR.sup.6 R.sup.7) where R.sup.6 and R.sup.7, which can be the same or different, are independently H; or alkyl groups having 1-6 carbons; or 1-2 alicyclic, heteroalicyclic, aromatic or heteroaromatic rings, containing 1-4 heteroatoms, wherein the heteroatoms are O, N or S; or R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 taken in combination are --(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --M--(CH.sub.2).sub.2 -- where M=a single bond, --O--, --CH.sub.2 --, or --NR.sup.8 -- where R.sup.8 is H or an alkyl having 1-6 carbons; and t=1-4;
