Fig 11. Combinations of chemical inducers are required to restore appressorium development in cda2/cbp1/cda3.

Fig 11

Induction of appressorium development in the cda2/cbp1/cda3 strain by chemical inducers, on A) hydrophobic and C) hydrophilic glass surfaces. Appressorium development could be partially restored in the triple deletion strain (grey bars) after a 24 hr incubation with IBMX, although chitosan staining of these germlings (B) showed that the appressorium development was associated with an increase in chitosan in the germlings of the cda2/cbp1/cda3 mutant. C) Appressorium development on hydrophilic surfaces could be restored to levels similar to the WT strain by combinations of 0.01% chitosan (w/v) and 2.5mM IBMX or with 200 μm 1,16 hexadecanediol (HDD). White bars: WT, grey bars: cda2/cbp1/cda3. Error bars: SD, n = 3.
