FIGURE 5.

C 1s spectra from C. neoformans (A,C) mutant without capsule and (B,D) wild type (WT) with capsule. Spectra in (A,B) are fitted using traditional fitting of Gaussian-Lorentzian (GL30) peak shapes, (C,D) fitted using spectral components. Data is represented by blue diamonds, the fit by a solid black line, GL30 peak shapes are represented by light blue lines in figures (A,B), and in (C,D) the blue line represents protein-like substance, grey line polysaccharides and red line lipid-like substances.
