Figure 5. . Evaluation of β-1,3 glucan quantities in the cell wall of Paracoccidioides lutzii.

(A) Aniline blue was used to evaluate, by fluorescence microscopy, the presence of β-1,3 glucan in the cell wall of P. lutzii after growth in the presence and absence of zinc (increase of 40 times). (B) Fluorescence intensity graph. The values of fluorescence intensity (in pixels) and the standard error of each analysis were used to plot the graph. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error (represented using error bars).
