From: Eco-friendly streamlined process for sporopollenin exine capsule extraction
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) analysis of sporopollenin exine capsules (SECs) before and after treatment and BSA encapsulation.
CLSM images in the first row are unprocessed L. clavatum spores indicating autofluorescence due to sporoplasmic cellular organelles and biomolecules. The second row indicates intact SECs after 30 h acidolysis-only treatment with a clean and intact large inner cavity and the third row indicates FITC-BSA loaded into 30 h acidolysis-only SECs. (Scale bars are 10 μm).
