Random Mutagenesis of the Aspergillus oryzae Genome Results in Fungal Antibacterial Activity

Figure 1

Ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis of Aspergillus oryzae. Aspergillus oryzae spore viability was reduced in a dose-dependent manner by ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) treatment. Spore treatment with 1600 μg mL−1 EMS was used to generate the A. oryzae mutants screened for secretion of antibacterial compounds.
