doi: 10.1002/mbo3.70011
Figure Lengend Snippet: Quinoxaline analogues induce phenotypic alterations to the surface of both S. aureus and E. faecalis . Scanning electron micrographs of S. aureus ATCC 29213 (A–F) and E. faecalis NCTC 12201 (G–L). Panels A and G and Panels B and H represent untreated cells captured at 20,000‐ and 50,000‐times magnification, respectively. Bacteria treated with 2x MBC concentration of compound 25 are depicted in Panels C and I as well as Panels D and J at 20,000‐ and 50,000‐times magnification, respectively. Bacteria treated with 2 x MBC concentration of compound 31 are shown in Panels E and K as well as Panels F and L at 20,000‐ and 50,000‐times magnification, respectively. Blue arrows: loss of cellular content; red arrows: wrinkled cell surfaces; black arrow: cells that appear to have collapsed.
