Figure 2. Growth and conidiation of the acyA ⁺ and ΔacyA strains.

A: Growth of the four transformants against the wild type in race tubes after 21 days incubation at 30°C in DGasn minimal medium. B: Average and standard deviation of linear growth of the wild type and the four transformants in race tubes after 21 days. Inner picture: ability of the five strains to colonize tomato fruit. C. Average and standard deviation of conidia production by the same strains on Petri dishes incubated for 8 days in the dark. Data from two independent experiments.
