Figure 1. Impact of Pe. chrysogenum on A. gambiae longevity and fungus colonization efficiency of the mosquito midgut.

Figure 1

(A) Survival of adult female A. gambiae, over 14 days, after feeding on a Pe. chrysogenum-laced sucrose solution for 48 h. Data represent 4 biological replicates (N = 79, P = 0.180), Kaplan-Meier statistical analysis. (B) Pe. chrysogenum colony-forming units (CFU) per midgut at 1, 2, 5, and 7 days after ingestion of fungus via a sucrose solution for 48 h (N = 40 at day 1, 5, 7, and N = 39 at day 2). CFU for Pe. chrysogenum were significantly lower (P = 0.0001) on day 7 than on day 1. Three biological replicates were performed; bars represent standard error of the mean (SEM). ****P ≤ 0.0001; two-tailed Mann-Whitney test.
