Role of BarA in sporulation. Conidiospores from wild-type strain A773 and the barA1 mutant UV13p were inoculated at the center of the MAG plates. Plates were sealed with parafilm and incubated at 28° in the dark for 7 days. (A) Image of the colony surface 1 cm away from the growth front. The image was captured with a Spot Insight Color camera on a Leica MZ75 dissecting microscope with a ×5 objective. (B) Quantitative comparison of conidial and Hülle cell production in the imaged area.
