FIG 3.

Effect of mtfA on A. fumigatus colony growth. (A) A. fumigatus wild-type, ΔmtfA, complementation (com), and mtfA overexpression (OEmtfA) strains were point inoculated on solid Czapek-Dox medium, and the cultures were incubated at 37°C in the dark for 5 days. The experiment was carried out with three replicates. (B) Quantification of colony diameters in 5-day-old cultures. The error bars represent standard errors. Different letters above the bars represent significantly different values (P ≤ 0.05).
