From: RgsD negatively controls development, toxigenesis, stress response, and virulence in Aspergillus fumigatus

Figure 6

The lack of RgsD leads to enhanced virulence. (A) Log-Rank plots of the survival of G. mellonella after infection with three strains’ conidia. (B) Infection of G. mellonella with the ΔrgsD strain induced melanization of the larva. (C) Histological analysis of larval tissues infected by WT, mutant and C′ strains was performed using PAS and GMS staining 24 hours post inoculation. Arrows indicated fungal hyphae in infected larval tissues. Note that compared to the WT and C′ strain, ΔrgsD strain showed high virulence.
