Analysis of blr1 and blr2 transcript levels. Transcript abundance is shown in response to light by qRT-PCR in the wildtype and ∆env1 strain (A and B) as well as in the ∆blr1 and ∆blr2 strains (C and D). The strains were cultivated on Mandels-Andreotti minimal media with 1% (w/v) glycerol as carbon source. The strains were kept in darkness for 24 hours and then exposed to light. Samples were taken in darkness, indicated as 24DD, and after 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes of illumination (displayed as minutes DL), respectively.
