Comparison of growth and benomyl sensitivity of wild-type and mutant strains. (A) Wild-type (RMS011) and ΔkipA (SSK44) conidia were spotted at the centers of agar plates containing different concentrations of benomyl. Colony diameters were measured after 2 d at 37°C, and the value for wild type at that concentration was used as 100% (10 colonies per strain for each concentration). (B) Wild-type and mutant strains were grown for 2 d at 30°C, and the diameters of 25 colonies per strain were measured. The strains used were RMS011, SSK44, SNR3, SSK72, SPR36, SSK73, XX3, and SSK80 (see Table 1).
