The ΔXprG and ΔXprG/ΔPrtT mutants produce conidia that are more sensitive to chemical and mechanical stress. (A) 10³ conidia/ml were suspended in 0.5% Tween 20 for the time indicated, plated and the number of colonies counted in comparison to controls suspended in DDW alone. ^∗P < 0.001 AkuB^ku80 vs. ΔXprG and ΔXprG/ΔPrtT mutants. (B) 5 × 10⁷ conidia/ml were agitated in the presence of acid-washed glass beads for the time indicated, plated and the number of colonies counted in comparison to untreated controls. ^∗P < 0.05 AkuB^ku80 vs. ΔXprG and ΔXprG/ΔPrtT mutants.
