FIG 1.

The CWIP mutants have delayed conidiation when asexual differentiation is induced and altered hydrophobicity of conidia. Conidia were counted by sampling the mycelium of each strain subjected to synchronized asexual differentiation at 2-h intervals at 30°C (A) and 37°C (B). The results are the averages ± the standard deviations (SD; n = 3; *, P ≤ 0.01 for all time points). Absolute values of quantification were log₂ transformed and raw data are available in Data Set S1. (C) Altered hydrophobic properties of conidia in a 1:1 water-oil (tributyrin) interface. (D) Silver-stained SDS-PAGE showing the hydrophobin content extracted from resting conidia. RodA corresponds to the native RodA, and RodA* corresponds to partially degraded or processed RodA (according to reference 50).
