Analysis of carbon source utilization using the BIOLOG phenotype microassay. (A) Schematic representation of carbon sources on which Δste12 grows better than the wild-type along with conversion pathways as deduced from KEGG pathways for T. reesei. (B, C) Growth data of the ste12-deletion strain as represented by turbidimetric analysis of biomass accumulation at 750 nm and compared to the wild-type strain QM6a. The analysis was done in biological triplicates with growth in darkness (DD). Statistical significance was determined by the T-test; * = p-value < 0.05, ** = p-value < 0.01.
