摘要
The hyphal responses of an A. fumigatus isolate to a trizolederivative-fluconazole (FCZ) were studied with a Bio-Cell Tracer system. The numerical data were recorded as the original growth rate (Pre-GR), the time needed for FCZ reaching to its target in hypha (τon), the growth rate under the FCZ effect (Exp-GR) and the growth rate after FCZ was removed (Post-GR). Based on above numerical data, the inhibitory rates in the exposure and post exposure periods were calculated as the Exp-I% and Post-I% values. It was found there were variable inhibitory rate values (I%) in individual hyphae corresponding to different FCZ concentrations. It was shown by correlation analysis of the numerical data that the Pre-GR values were negatively correlated with the τon values and positively correlated with both the Exp-I% and Post-I% values. Additionally, the τon values are negatively correlated with the Exp-I% and Post-I% values. Those results suggested that the hyphal growth rate and the susceptibility of the FCZ target be the important factors to determine the hyphal responses to the FCZ effect. Serial morphological alternations were captured while the hyphal growth curves were changing under the FCZ effects. Of the morphological data, the interesting alternations were visualized when the hyphae were affected by 16 μg/ml FCZ. As shifting of the hyphal growth curves, the hyphae were repeatedly seen as swollen tips and germination from the swollen sites. It is indicated that the hyphal tips are the most sensitive parts of this mycelia fungus to the FCZ affects. Additionally, because the hyphal regrowth was observed as germination from the swollen tips before FCZ was removed, an adaptation phenomenon could be proposed.
