FIG. 1.

(A) Conidial yield of WT, ΔBbmpk1, or reverse complementation transformant (RC) strains produced on Sabouraud dextrose agar (Difco Laboratories) supplemented with 1% (wt/vol) yeast extract. Conidial production was measured as described earlier (53). The error bars indicate the standard deviations from five repeats of the experiment. (B) Hyphal growth on the surface of a drop of liquid. Drops of Sabouraud dextrose broth (Difco Laboratories) supplemented with 1% (wt/vol) yeast extract containing conidia of the WT strain (left) or the Bbmpk1 disruption mutant (right) were placed in a petri dish and incubated for 96 h at 100% humidity.
