Increasing pyruvate concentration in M. robertsii conidia by overexpressing the pyruvate kinase gene MAA_06851. (A) qRT-PCR confirmation of the overexpression of MAA_06851 in the conidia of two transformants (T-06851OE-1 and T-06851OE-2). The gene expression levels during conidiation in the two transformants (5 days after inoculation of conidia on PDA) were calculated relative to that of the wild-type (WT) strain, which was set to 1. (B) The pyruvate concentration in the conidia grown at optimal conditions (26°C on PDA for 14 days), and in the heat-treated conidia. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error (SE). Values with different letters are significantly different ( p < 0.05, Tukey’s test in one-way ANOVA). All assays were repeated three times with three replicates per repeat.
