Abstract excerpt

Surface charge of wild-type Crithidia fasciculata and three drug-resistant mutants (TR3, TFRR1, and FUR11) was studied by direct zeta-potential determination and ultrastructural cytochemistry. Surface tension was also investigated by measurements of the advancing contact angle formed by the proto...
