Cell Wall Modifications during Conidial Maturation of the Human Pathogenic Fungus Pseudallescheria boydii
Figure 2
Influence of the age of the cultures on the physical surface properties of conidia.
Surface electrostatic charge (A) and cell surface hydrophobicity (B) of conidia recovered from 5-, 9-, and 14-day-old cultures were significantly different among the three groups with a p<0.01 for (A) and p<0.001 for (B).
