FIG. 1.

Oxygen consumption by cells of C. glabrata isolates 21231 (continuous black line), 22852 (continuous gray line), and 22853 (dashed black line). Almost all the oxygen in the oxygraph chamber was consumed after 3 min of incubation by the wild-type isolate and azole-resistant isolate 22853, whereas the oxygen concentration remained almost unchanged after 7 min for hypersusceptible isolate 22852. Three independent experiments were performed. The data presented were derived from one of these experiments, but less than 10% variation in the maximal oxygen consumption rates was seen between the three experiments.
