CLR-2-dependence and cellulose and secretory load independence of mutant phenotypes. a Total secreted protein and b endoglucanase activity normalized for total fungal cell biomass in each culture. Conidia from the indicated strains were cultured in growth media containing sucrose (48 h). c Total secreted protein; conidia from the indicated strains were inoculated into VMM (48 h) the resulting biomass then switched to Avicel (48 h). Statistical analyses for protein and enzyme activity levels were relative to WT within each condition (n = 3 for CLR-2 mis-expression study; n = 4 for Δcbh-1 study). Error bars indicate standard deviation.
