Figure 3

Furfural causes mitochondrial membrane morphology to go from tubules to aggregates. Exponentially growing yeast cells expressing mitochondrial targeted green fluorescent protein were untreated or treated with 25 mM or 50 mM furfural. Representative images of yeast with no inhibitor (left column; tubular), exposed to 25 mM furfural (middle column; evenly distributed fragments) or 50 mM furfural (right column; aggregated) are shown. Images of cells were taken 6 h after furfural treatment.
