Random Mutagenesis of the Aspergillus oryzae Genome Results in Fungal Antibacterial Activity
Figure 3
Characterization of mutant Aspergillus oryzae colony size and onset of spore production. The antibacterial A. oryzae isolate (b) exhibited altered morphology consisting of smaller colony size, reduced mycelia formation, and earlier and heavier visible spore production compared to parental A. oryzae (a). Colonies are shown at two days after inoculation on SAB plates. Without magnification, spores are visible as dark coloration (b), while mycelia are bright white (a). Scale bars = 0.75 cm.
