Fig 13. Effect of iron chelation on cryptococcal morphology.

The effect of iron chelation on cell body size was observed by the supplementation of TCM with the iron chelator Bathophenanthroline disulfonic acid (BPS) in TCM cultures inoculated at 10⁴ cells/mL cultures (A) and 10⁶ cells/mL cultures (B). The cells were incubated at 37°C overnight with 5% CO₂ without shaking. CT, control cells without BPS.
