RgsA’s functions in the oxidative stress response. (A) Colony appearance after point inoculation of 1 X 105 conidia on solid MMG with oxidative stressors. (B) Quantification of growth inhibition was measured by colony diameters after 48 h of incubation at 37 °C. (C) SOD activity in WT, ΔrgsA, and C′ strains shown in non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels. (D) Catalase activity in WT, ΔrgsA, and C′ strains. Relative intensities of each enzyme are shown below. (E) Levels of stress-activated genes’ mRNA in three strains analyzed by qRT-PCR. Statistical significance was determined by ANOVA and a Student t-test: ** p < 0.01; * p < 0.05.
