FIG. 3.

ΔAfatg1 mutant is defective in conidiophore development and conidiation. (A) Colony and microscopic morphologies of the wt, ΔAfatg1 mutant, and complemented (C′) strains after 3 days of growth on PDA medium at 37°C. Bar, 10 μm. (B) Colony morphology of the wt and ΔAfatg1 strains grown for 3 days at 37°C on PDA medium supplemented with 40 mM ammonium tartrate. (C) Numbers of conidia recovered from the wt, ΔAfatg1 mutant, and complemented strains grown on PDA for 4 days at 37°C in the absence or presence (+ N) of 40 mM ammonium tartrate. The experiment was performed in triplicate, and the values represent the means ± standard errors of the means (SEM).
