Fig. 1.

Macro- and microscopic differences of cell morphology in 3-day-old solid and liquid cultures. The ultrastructural features of cell walls are shown for (A)A. fumigatus and (B)C. albicans. From left to right, each row incorporates an image of culture, an SEM image, a zoomed-in region of the SEM image, and a TEM image. In both panels (A) and (B), the solid culture (top) and the liquid culture (bottom) are shown. (C) The cell wall thickness of A. fumigatus (top) and C. albicans (bottom). Data are presented as a distribution, with means of 10 measurements from 15 biological replicates of each solid or liquid culture.
