Redesigned culture strategy to verify the functional role of fab1 in cellulase production. Two culture procedures (a) were designed for functional study of fab1 in T. reesei using the copper-responsive RNAi-mediated silencing system. The abundance of fab1 (b) and tcu1 (c) mRNAs was quantified by qRT-PCR in the appointed sampling times. Filter paper activity was measured when mycelia were transferred into Avicel induction media at indicated time (d). Extracellular fermentation liquor (20 μL) of Ptcu1–fab1KD strain cultured on 1% Avicel supplied with (e) or without (f) copper was analyzed by SDS-PAGE
