FIG 5.

Altered digestive vacuoles upon induction of the PfCRT knock-down phenotype. (A) Giemsa smear of infected erythrocytes from Dd2 and the PfCRT knock-down mutants E10 and G7 in the presence and absence of glucosamine for 3 days. Note the translucent digestive vacuoles in PfCRT knock-down mutants under induced conditions. Bar, 1 μm. (B) Size of the digestive vacuole in the parasite lines indicated in the presence and absence of glucosamine (3 days). Data points indicate measurements from at least three independent biological replicates.
