Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in trophozoites of control, Δfh and Δmqo parasites. a Bright-field and fluorescence microscopy images of control, Δfh and Δmqo parasites (left panel). MMP was assessed using the MMP-sensitive fluorochrome MitoTracker® Red CMXRos (MitoTracker, red). The inner membrane and cell nuclei were stained with BODIPY FL C16 (BODIPY, green) and Hoechst 33342 (Hoechst, blue), respectively. Bar indicates 5 µm. b Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of MitoTracker (right panel). Results are expressed as mean ± SD of 100 control, Δfh and Δmqo trophozoites. Experiments were performed in duplicate, and representative data are shown
