Pseudohypha formation after phagocytosis. (A) Images of C. krusei at time zero and after 5 h of incubation in feeding medium during the phagocytosis assay. (B) Graphic showing a distribution of the number of blastoconidia forming the pseudohypha and its length under all the experimental conditions. (C) Table showing the mean number of blastoconidia forming the pseudohypha and the length of the pseudohypha. The P value resulting from the Student t analysis considering the value obtained for the control yeast cells incubated for 5 h in feeding medium as a reference value for all the comparisons is shown. Statistical differences of these comparisons are highlighted in boldface.
