Relevance of PhLP1, GNB1 and GNG1 for cellulase regulation. The deletion strains Δphlp1, Δgnb1 and Δgng1 and the parental strain QM9414 were cultivated on Mandels-Andreotti minimal media with 1% (w/v) microcrystalline cellulose for 72 hours in constant darkness (DD) or constant light (LL). A: cel7a/cbh1 transcript levels were determined by qPCR and related to the wild type QM9414 (WT) in darkness (DD). The table below the diagram shows the percentage of transcript abundance related to WT grown for 72 hours in darkness. B: FPU related to biomass is given as relative values compared to WT in darkness (DD). The table below the diagram shows the percentage of specific cellulase activity related to WT grown for 72 hours in darkness.
