FIG 8.

Impacts of rad23 deletion on host infection- and virulence-related cellular events. (A, B) Biomass levels and total activities of extracellular enzymes (ECEs) and Pr1 proteases quantified from the 3-day-old cultures of a 10⁶ conidia · ml⁻¹ CDB-BSA. (C, D) Biomass levels and blastospore concentration in the 3-day-old cultures of a 10⁶ conidia · ml⁻¹ SDBY or TPB mimicking insect hemolymph. The asterisked bar in each bar group differs significantly from those that are unmarked (Tukey’s HSD, P < 0.05). Error bars indicate standard deviations from three replicates.
