Extended Data Fig. 6: Downregulation of R. delemar toxin by RNAi did not affect germination or the growth of the fungus.
From: Mucoricin is a ricin-like toxin that is critical for the pathogenesis of mucormycosis
a, Wild-type R. delemar, RNAi empty plasmid, or RNAi toxin strains were germinated in minimal medium without uracil at 37 °C with shaking. At times, samples were taken from the medium and examined by light microscopy. Scale bar is 5 µm. b, 105 spores of wild-type R. delemar, RNAi empty plasmid, or RNAi toxin strains were plated in the middle of the minimal medium without uracil agar plates for several days at 37 °C and the colony diameter measured (n = 6 plates/group, pooled from three independent experiments). Data are presented as median ± interquartile range.
