Analysis of Aspergillus carbonarius alb1 transformants. (a) Map of plasmid pRF-HU2_alb1. (b) Transformation plate containing colonies displaying fawn pigmented conidia (putative Δalb1) or wild-type-like morphology regarding conidia pigmentation. (c) Diagram of the wild-type locus and the alb1 replacement with the hygromycin resistant selectable marker from pRF-HU2_alb1 by homologous recombination to generate the Δalb1 mutants. Primers used in the construction of plasmid pRF-HU2_alb1 and those used for the analysis of the transformants are shown. (d) Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of the wild-type AC49 strain and three knockout transformants (Δalb1-1, Δalb1-2, Δalb1-3).
