Fig. 6: Growth of M. mycetomatis measured by the diameter of the mycelium.

A Growth of M. mycetomatis on YNAAI agar supplemented with PBS, FeCl2, FeCl3, apo- and holo-transferrin, and apo- and holoferritin. Two biological replicates were performed. Data presented as mean value, showing both individual data points. B Growth of M. mycetomatis on YNAAI agar containing 500 M of the iron chelator 2′2-bipiridyl, and supplemented with PBS, FeCl2, FeCl3, apo- and holo-transferrin, and apo- and holoferritin. Two biological replicates were performed. Data presented as mean value, showing both individual data points. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
