A FRET flow cytometry method for monitoring cytosolic and glycosomal glucose in living kinetoplastid parasites.
The bloodstream lifecycle stage of the kinetoplastid parasite Trypanosoma brucei relies solely on glucose metabolism for ATP production, which occurs in peroxisome-like organelles (glycosomes). Many studies have been conducted on glucose uptake and metabolism, but none thus far have been able to mon...
