Figure 4. Gene expression analysis of N. crassa grown in a CSTR with continuous darkness (DD).

Figure 4

N. crassa was cultured in Vogel’s medium containing 1% (w/v) glucose and 0.08% (v/v) polyacrylic acid (MW ~100,000) at 25 °C. Reactors were exposed to light for 24hrs following inoculation then maintained in constant darkness for the remainder of the experiment for data collection. The shaded region corresponds to the dark period. Gene expression of (a) frequency (frq), (b) white collar-1 (wc-1), (c) white collar-2 (wc-2), (d) vivid (vvd), and clock-controlled genes (e) ccg-1, (f) ccg-4, and (g) ccg-14 were measured over time and were analyzed using the ΔΔCT method with btl and vma2 as reference genes. Shown are the data collected from one of three biological replicates, and error bars represent SD between triplicate samples within one biological replicate.
