Fig. 6From: Cloning and disruption of the UeArginase in Ustilago esculenta: evidence for a role of arginine in its dimorphic transitionThe content of arginine in WT strains or UeArginase mutations during mating process. The contents of arginine in WT strains and UeArginase mutations were measured at 0 h and 12 h after mating on YESP/YEPS-ARG medium or 24 h after mating on BM/BM-ARG medium during mating procedure. At least 5 individual colonies were collected in the mating assay. The haploid samples mixed at the beginning of mating assays were collected as the tested samples of 0 h. Differences in the content of arginine were analyzed using the generalized linear model (GLM) with the variables of the stage life, medium, the amount of arginine added and strains, and 3 blocks. For the interaction effect of the four variables was significant (P < 0.05), Least squares means were computed for comultiple-comparison. Different letters above the columns indicate significant differences at p < 0.05 (Tukey)Back to article page
