Figure 1. The influence of the PAMPs at concentrations of 0.1–100 μg/ml on the production of gliotoxin by A. fumigatus, based on triplicate A. fumigatus cultures incubated at 37°C for seven days.

The gliotoxin concentrations are normalized against those for the control group (38 μM), and the error bars show the standard error of the reported mean. The gliotoxin level increased in all cultures exposed to PAMPs at concentrations above 0.1 μg/ml.
