Fig. 6From: Molecular characterization of siderophore biosynthesis in Paracoccidioides brasiliensisSurvival curves of T. molitor infected with P. brasiliensis yeast strains. T. molitor larvae were infected with different concentrations of P. brasiliensis yeast cells of WT strain (a) and with 2 × 106 yeast cells of the WT, EV and AsSidA mutant strains (AsSidA4 and AsSidA5) (b). As a control, the larvae were inoculated with PBS only. The experiments were carried with a total of 30 larvae for each condition analyzed in a period of 10 days. The survival of T. molitor larvae is shown as a percentage. (*** p< 0.0005, ** p< 0.005 and * p< 0.05)Back to article page
