Fig. 2From: Binding proteins of destruxin A from Metarhizium against insect cellElectron microscopic results of the cytotoxicity of DA on Bm12. A, B, C, D Effects of DA on Bm12 cells morphology change by SEM. After DA treatment, the cell microvilli were significantly reduced (A, B and C), the cell morphology changed significantly, and the cell surface showed obvious shrinkages (A and C) and perforation (B). E, F, G Effects of DA on Bm12 cells by TEM. DA treated cells showed nuclear consolidation, cytoplasmic degradation, mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum swelling, and almost no intact organelles (A and B).
