Figure 2. Different phenotypes are observed due to Candida infection. (A) Exposure to C. albicans causes intestinal distention in the worms over time (Days 2, 3 and 4). DIC (Nomarski) pictures of worms feeding on E. coli was taken as control and the DIC, RFP and merged pictures of worms infected with C. albicans are shown over 3 d. (B) Vulva swelling is observed (arrow points to the vulvar region) by Day 4 when worms are exposed to Candida compared with worms exposed E. coli as control (uninfected). Scale = 20 µm.
