Effect of Argirium-SUNCs on cellular membrane depolarization. Hyphae of A. niger GM31 were stained with 20 μg/ml of DiBAC4 (Bis-(1,3-Dibutylbarbituric Acid Trimethine Oxonol). (A) Untreated hyphae; (B) hyphae treated with 0.625 mg L−1 Argirium-SUNCs; (C) Hyphae treated with Argirium-SUNCs + Cystine and (D) Hyphae treated with AgNO3. Scale bar of 20 μm.
