From: Velvet activated McrA plays a key role in cellular and metabolic development in Aspergillus nidulans
The role of mcrA in conidia. (A) Spore viability of WT (FGSC4), ΔmcrA (TMK19), and C’mcrA (TMK20) strains grown at 37 °C for 2, 5, 8, 10 and 20 days. (B) The amount of trehalose (μg) per 107 spores from the 2 day-old colonies of WT, ΔmcrA and C’mcrA strains. (measured in triplicates, ***p < 0.001) (C) The amount of β-glucan (pg) per 104 spores in 2-day-old conidia of WT, ΔmcrA and C’mcrA strains (measured in triplicates, ***p < 0.001). (D) Levels of fksA mRNA in the WT, ΔmcrA and C’mcrA conidia. (measured in triplicates, ***p < 0.001).
