Deletion of xprG and xprG/prtT leads to abnormal conidiogenesis. Phenotypic analysis of the ΔXprG and ΔXprG/ΔPrtT strains compared to the wild-type AkuB^KU80 and ΔPrtT strains shows that they produce (A) lighter colored conidia when growing on YAG agar plates (B) conidiophores with reduced diameter and shorter spore chains (Light microscopy and SEM) (C) conidia with a normal rodlet outer layer (SEM, high magnification), (D) a significantly reduced number of conidia (^∗P < 0.005). (E) Quantification of reduction in conidiophore diameter (based on the diameter of 50 conidiophores per strain) (^∗P < 0.02).
