Growth of wild types, mutants and ectopic strains on different carbon sources obtained from various plant origins.

<p>Colony diameter in mm and standard deviation are indicated on the left and refer to the average of 3 biological replicates. The graph indicates the effect of carbon source on the growth ratio (mutant / wild type) after 5 days of growth on Petri dishes containing glucose, beechwood xylan, sugar beet arabinan, polygalacturonic acid, citrus pectin, apple pectin, potato azo-galactan or glutamic acid as a sole carbon source. Bars labelled with the same letter are not significantly different according to Tukey's post hoc test p<0.05. Bars represent SDs of the ratios (within each strain) of three biological replicates.
