Fig. 3From: Blocking hexose entry into glycolysis activates alternative metabolic conversion of these sugars and upregulates pentose metabolism in Aspergillus nidulansSugar consumption by Aspergillus nidulans reference and mutants. All A. nidulans strains were transferred to 1% wheat bran. a Sugar levels in the extracellular medium of the reference, hxkA1/glkA4, creAΔ4 and creAΔ4/hxkA1/glkA4 after 8 h and 24 h of transfer to wheat bran. The asterisk indicates a significant difference for glucose after 8 h. b HPAEC-PAD monosaccharide analysis of glucose, (c) xylose and (d) arabinose from A. nidulans reference (dark rhombus), hxkA1/glkA4 (dark square), creAΔ4 (dark triangle) and creAΔ4/hxkA1/glkA4 (dark cross) after 2 h, 8 h and 24 h of transfer to wheat bran. A significant difference was identified between the triple mutant and creAΔ4 for glucose after 8 h (p > 0.05 in students t-test). Means and SD (errors bars) were calculated from three technical replicatesBack to article page
