Fig. 3

a Mitochondria morphology in human skin fibroblasts (C109 cells), treated with the solvent (Control) and C12-G+. Mitochondria were labeled using an antibody against ATP synthase B. Scale bar = 5 µm. b Sensitivity of mitochondria morphology to C12-G+ in C109 cells (Human) and Z. tritici cells. See Table 1 for EC50 values. c Ultrastructure of mitochondria in human fibroblasts, treated with the solvent (Control) and C12-G+. Note swollen cristae in C12-G+-treated C109 cells. Scale bar = 0.3 µm. See also Supplementary Fig. 3a. d Sensitivity of mitochondrial potential to C12-G+ in C109 cells (Human) and Z. tritici cells. See Table 1 for EC50 values and also Supplementary Fig. 3b. Values (b, d) are shown as mean ± SEM; sample size n is indicated in each panel. Non-linear regression curve was calculated as dose-response inhibition (four parameters) in Prism5. See Supplementary Table 7 for experimental conditions.
