YAN consumption of improved strain “476” and their parental strains. Consumption of nitrogen sources are shown for improved strain “476” (red bar) and their respective F₁ “parents” (A17 and A4) (orange bars) and F₀ “grandparents” (L84, L9, L530 and L1070) (dark-yellow bars). Statistical analysis for each nitrogen source consisted in independent ANOVA followed by Tukey’s tests, with values that have a statistically significant difference (p-value < 0.05) having different superscript letters (a and b). Plotted values correspond to three biological replicates average, with error bars representing their standard error (mean ± SEM).
