Survival of D. discoideum and S. cerevisiae during co-incubation. (A) Survival of D. discoideum AX2 (Dd) in SP-buffer with (gray bars) or without (black bars) S. cerevisiae BY4741 as revealed by trypan blue staining. No significant differences could be detected. (B) Survival of Baker's yeast with (light-gray bars) or without (dark-gray bars) D. discoideum AX2 in AXoM as measured by counting colony-forming units (cfu). (C) Survival of the laboratory S. cerevisiae strain w303a/α with (light-gray bars) or without (dark-gray bars) D. discoideum AX2 in AXoM as measured by counting cfu. (D) Survival of the S. cerevisiae bloodstream isolate RKI 07-0060 with (light-gray bars) or without (dark-gray bars) D. discoideum AX2 in AXoM as measured by counting cfu. The dashed lines in (C,D) represent the percentage survival rate of the yeast strain during co-incubation with D. discoideum as compared to the survival rate without amoebae (= 100%). All data are represented as mean ± standard deviation. *significant reduction of cfu/ml compared to yeast cells without amoebae with P < 0.05. n.s., no significant difference.
