The polyamine content in the WT and the HY A. chrysogenum strains. The fungi were grown for 24 h as described in Materials and Methods. Data are means ± SD, n = 3. Statistical significance, *** p < 0.001, as compared with the WT strain, and ### p < 001, as compared with the control group of the same strain.
