Iron Source Preference and Regulation of Iron Uptake in Cryptococcus neoformans
Figure 5
Iron Uptake Is Impaired in the cft1 Mutant
(A) Strains were grown in defined low-iron medium and analyzed for iron uptake with 55FeCl3. The results show the average from three experiments with bars representing the standard deviations. The asterisk (*) indicates that the iron uptake for the cft1 cft2 double mutant was statistically different from that of the cft1 mutants (p = 0.007 by a Student t test).
(B) The strains indicated were grown in low-iron medium and uptake of 55Fe from transferrin was measured. The results shown are an average from three experiments with bars representing the standard deviations.
