Figure 1 Stage Conversion and Glucose Metabolism of T. gondii (Left) Transmission electron micrographs of T. gondii tachyzoites and bradyzoites. Bradyzoites contain amylopectin granules (AG) in the cytoplasm, while tachyzoites do not. R, rhoptries; M, micronemes; DG, dense granules; C, conoid. These micrographs were provided by D.P. Ferguson (Oxford University). (Right) A schematic of glucose fluxes between amylopectin synthesis, degradation, glycolysis, and mitochondrial respiration.
