Susceptibility of BaraA mutants to M. robertsii infection. (A) Survival of isogenic BaraA mutants injected with 50 M. robertsii conidia. Pooled data from 10 independent experiments. Statistical significance between WT and the KO or KI mutants: ****P < 0.0001. (B) Kinetics over 3 d of the fungal load of the BaraA KO and KI mutants injected with 50 M. robertsii conidia. No significant difference was detected between WT and BaraA mutants at each time point. (C) Fungal load upon death (FLUD) of single isogenic BaraA KO and KI flies injected with 50 M. robertsii conidia. No significant differences between WT and the isogenic mutant flies were detected. Three independent experiments have been performed and pooled (B and C). Data are expressed as means ± SEM.
