Fig 7. PbsrbA is required for hyphal growth under hypoxic conditions.

Fig 7

The A. fumigatus reconstituted strains (PbsrbA), wild type (CEA10) and ΔsrbA were plated on GMM plates and incubated at 37°C under normoxia and hypoxia. The diameter of the colony was measured over 96 h every 24 h and are expressed in inches (cm). Under normoxia, no significant difference in growth speed and colony size could be observed (P ≤ 0.01) except less conidiation in the reconstituted strains (upper panel). In contrast, under hypoxic conditions only the mutant strain (ΔsrbA) did not demonstrate any detectable growth. The reconstituted strains 1, 2 and 3 (Rec1, 2 and 3) and the wild type (CEA10) showed comparable growth; P ≤ 0.01 (lower panel).
