Identification of a Novel L-rhamnose Uptake Transporter in the Filamentous Fungus Aspergillus niger
Fig 9
Phenotype analysis of A. niger strains N402 (WT), JS14 (ΔrhaR), JS16 (ΔrhtA) and JS19 (ΔrhaB).
A. niger strains were plated on minimal media supplemented either with D-glucose (1%; w/v), L-rhamnose (1%; w/v) or rhamnogalacturonan I (RG1) (1%; w/v) as sole carbon source, and cultured for 144 hours. Mutants with the same gene deleted showed the same growth pattern; the figure depicts only one representative knockout strain per gene.
