FIG. 5.

Quantification of colony diameter and conidial production in ΔAfclrD, complemented control, and wild-type strains. Standard physiological experiments demonstrated growth abnormalities in the ΔAfclrD strain. (A) Radial growth of ΔAfclrD on GMM at 37°C was significantly reduced compared to the wild type (AF293; P < 0.001) and complemented control strains were not significantly different than wild type (AF293). (B and C) Conidial production is reduced after 5 days incubation at 37°C in ΔAfclrD (TJMP1.11) compared to wild type with pyrG (TJW55.1) and an AfclrD-complemented control strain (TRMP4.40) (*, P = 0.026; **, P = 0.028). Error bars indicate 1 standard deviation.
