Figure 5: Eisen diagram of transcript levels of key genes in penicillin biosynthesis, amino-acid biosynthesis and phenylacetate catabolism.
From: Genome sequencing and analysis of the filamentous fungus Penicillium chrysogenum
P. chrysogenum Wisconsin54-1255 and DS17690 strains were grown in glucose-limited chemostat cultures in the absence and presence of phenylacetic acid (PAA). The color bar indicates the range of the transcript levels for each gene, normalized to the average transcript level of the gene. Genes (putatively) related to penicillin biosynthesis, synthesis of the penicillin precursors cysteine, valine and α-aminoadipic acid and to phenylacetate catabolism are depicted.
