TABLE 2.
Comparison of FB1 production by the wild-type, PAC2A, and PAC2A-C strainsa
| Strain | FB1 production onb:
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Maize kernels (μg of FB1/g of maize)b | DL medium (μg of FB1/ml) | |
| Wild type | 480 ± 20 | 120 ± 17 |
| PAC2A | 650 ± 50* | 160 ± 20* |
| PAC2A-C | 475 ± 29 | 120 ± 20 |
a
FB1 was extracted from cultures grown for 14 days on maize kernels and DL medium (pH 4.5).
b
Values represent the mean of three replicates ± standard error. *, significantly different from other values in the same column (P < 0.04, Fisher's protected least significant difference).
