Deletion of mat1-2-1 leads to down-regulation of cellulase gene expression on cellulose in light but not in darkness. (A and B) pNPC and pNPG hydrolytic activities of the extracellular supernatant of the Δmat1-2-1 and TU6-RP strains. (C to E) Relative expression levels of cbh1 (C), eg1 (D) and xyr1 (E) in these two strains cultured under the same conditions for enzymatic activity analyses were assayed by RT-qPCR. Error bars indicated the standard error (SE) from three independent biological replicates. Significant differences (T-test *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01) were detected for the extracellular activities and the transcription of the cbh1, egl1 and xyr1 genes between TU6-RP and the Δmat1-2-1 strain for the indicated time points after induction.
