Transmission electron microscopy of C. neoformans T444 strain treated with 625 μg/mL of EO, 38 μg/mL of geraniol, and 395 μg/mL of linalool for 48 h at 37°C. Untreated cells (control) showed good preservation of cell wall and membrane and the final of budding (a–c). The cells treated with 625 μg/mL of EO (d), 38 μg/mL of geraniol, (e) and 395 μg/mL of linalool (f) showed a disruption of the fungal capsule structure.
