Involvement of hydrophobins in the growth of A. nidulans on SEB. a Transcriptional modulation of hydrophobin encoding genes post transfer to SEB reveals induction of rodA and dewC. b Radial growth on complete media is not affected by the absence of RodA or DewC. c Growth of A. nidulans on SEB is reduced in the absence of RodA or DewC. d Western blot showing the retention of RodA::mRFP within the solid fraction of the submerged cultivation of A. nidulans on SEB for 1–5 days. Arrows present the two RodA isoforms, potentially including a hydrophobin dimer. C denotes the coomassie stained 4–12 % Bis–Tris gel. Statistical significance: *p < 0.05
