FIG 7.

AFM imaging and elasticity mapping of the BY4741 wild-type strain before and after treatment with amphotericin B. The same procedure as that described in the legend to Fig. 1 was used, except that the cells were treated with 8 μg ml⁻¹ of amphotericin B for 1 h and the AFM images for untreated and treated cells were obtained at a low resolution (z range = 500 nm). The elasticity maps (z range = 800 kPa) and distributions of Young's modulus values were obtained from 1,024 force versus indentation curves for untreated and amphotericin B-treated cells.
