Growth of A. nidulans strains on fatty acids as sole carbon source. A. Dry cell weight of mycelium was measured after 72 h incubation in liquid minimal media containing lactose, erucic acid (C22:1, black bar), oleic acid (C18:1, grey bar) or hexanoic acid (C6, white bar). Cultures for each strain were set up in triplicate. Yields for the fatty acids are presented as a percent of the yield for lactose for the indicated strain (WT, A26; ΔscdA, TLMH17). Error bars represent standard error and include error from measurement of the lactose cultures. B. Colony diameter after 96 h incubation on solid minimal medium containing myristic acid, as a percent of the diameter on medium containing lactose (WT, A36; ΔscdA, TLMH17). Spores (105) were inoculated at the center of a standard Petri plate containing 25 ml solid medium. Plates were inoculated in triplicate. Error bars represent standard deviation and include error from measurement of diameters with both lactose and myristic acid. C. Dry cell weight of mycelium was measured after 72 h incubation in minimal medium containing oleic acid. Cultures for each strain were set up in quintuplicate (ΔechA, RLMH41; ΔscdA, TLMH17; ΔechA ΔscdA, RLMH63). Error bars represent standard error.
