Guillaume-Gentil et al. describe a method that employs a modified AFM tip for selectively sampling from and injecting into individual fungal cells of differing morphology. The authors describe extensive modifications on their system previously used for mammalian cells to overcome many of the challenges associated with working on single fungal cells.
