Morphological and Transcriptome Analyses Provide Insights into Growth Inhibition of Trichophyton rubrum Caused by Laser Irradiation

Figure 1

Design of the experimental procedure and growth inhibition of T. rubrum induced by laser irradiation. (a) Schematic representation of the experimental procedure. The suspension was prepared and inoculated in SDA for 7-8 days. When the diameter of the colony reached 6 mm, laser irradiation was performed on the laser side (day 1). The ultrastructure was observed, and the transcriptome was compared on the third day following laser exposure. (b) The growth of colonies to a 6 mm diameter length was inhibited for 7 days following single laser irradiation. The left side of each medium is the laser group, and the right side is the control group.
