Table 1 The effect of AbaA (2 μg/ml) and FK506 (1,28 μg/ml) on A. niger germ tube formation and elongation

From: The capacity of Aspergillus niger to sense and respond to cell wall stress requires at least three transcription factors: RlmA, MsnA and CrzA

  1. At least A. niger 100 germlings were counted per single fermentation run to analyze the number of germ tubes present. From each two or three independent fermentation runs, a mean BI was calculated. AbaA, cells treated with aureobasidin A; FK506, cells treated with FK506; NCAbaA, cells neither treated with AbaA or FK506, negative control for AbaA (solvent ethanol); NCFK506, cells neither treated with AbaA or FK506, negative control for FK506 (solvent DMSO). N = number of germ tubes per germling.
