Yet, the current diagnostic criteria cannot prevent missed cases, including invasive aspergillosis, which requires the development of a novel diagnostic approach and imaging tools. We recently introduced the use of dynamic full-field optical coherence tomography (D-FF-OCT) in fungal diagnostics with a definition approaching that of conventional microscopy and the ability to return metabolic information regarding different fungal species. The present work focuses on subcellular dynamics and live-cell imaging of <jats:italic>Aspergillus fumigatus<\/jats:italic> with D-FF-OCT to follow the fungal growth stages.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The <jats:italic>A. fumigatus<\/jats:italic> ATCC 204305 quality-control strain was used for all imaging experiments, following incubation times varying between 24 and 72\u00a0h at 30\u00b0C in a humidified chamber on Sabouraud dextrose agar. Fungal growth was subsequently monitored with D-FF-OCT for up to 5\u00a0h at room temperature and following the pharmacological stress of either voriconazole, amphotericin B, or caspofungin gradient concentration.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>D-FF-OCT images allow not only the visualization of intracellular trafficking of vacuoles but also an evolving dynamic segmentation of conidiophores depending on the chronological development and aging of the hyphae or the effect of antifungal treatment. The same applies to conidial heads, with the most intense D-FF-OCT signal coming from vesicles, revealing a changing dynamic within a few hours only, as well as complete extinction following subsequent drying of the Sabouraud dextrose agar.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>These results provide additional data on the ability of D-FF-OCT to monitor some of the main life cycle processes, dynamics, and intracellular trafficking of vacuoles in <jats:italic>A. fumigatus<\/jats:italic>, with or without the effect of pharmacological stress. Such complementary metabolic information could help both clinicians and microbiologists in either mechanistic studies toward experimental mycology or the development of a potential D-FF-OCT-guided diagnosis of superficial fungal infections.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2023.1183340","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,12]],"date-time":"2023-07-12T23:56:54Z","timestamp":1689206214000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Dynamic full-field optical coherence tomography for live-cell imaging and growth-phase monitoring in Aspergillus fumigatus"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Thomas","family":"Maldiney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dea","family":"Garcia-Hermoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emilie","family":"Sitterl\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Marie","family":"Chassot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Thouvenin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claude","family":"Boccara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mathieu","family":"Blot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lionel","family":"Piroth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Pierre","family":"Quenot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre-Emmanuel","family":"Charles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vishukumar","family":"Aimanianda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bianca","family":"Podac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L\u00e9a","family":"Boulnois","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric","family":"Dalle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marc","family":"Sautour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie-Elisabeth","family":"Bougnoux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fanny","family":"Lanternier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e02752","DOI":"10.1128\/mBio.02752-19","article-title":"Three-dimensional light sheet fluorescence microscopy of lungs to dissect local host immune-aspergillus fumigatus interactions","volume":"11","author":"Amich","year":"2020","journal-title":"Goldman GH editor. mBio."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1511","DOI":"10.1364\/BOE.7.001511","article-title":"Dynamic full field optical coherence tomography: subcellular metabolic contrast revealed in tissues by interferometric signals temporal analysis","volume":"7","author":"Apelian","year":"2016","journal-title":"BioMed.
