Effects of DMF on hyphal growth and protein production in T. reesei QM6a. a Hyphae growth of T. reesei QM6a on plates. DMF was added at final concentrations of 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2% (v/v). b Colony diameters. c–f The effects of different concentrations of DMF (final concentration 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2%) on CMCase/biomass activity (c), pNPCase/biomass activity (d), total protein concentrations (e), and biomass (f) of T. reesei QM6a. Different letters indicate significant differences between the columns (p < 0.05, Duncan’s multiple-range test). Blue bar, adding 0% (v/v) DMF; purple bar, adding 0.1% (v/v) DMF; green bar, adding 0.5% (v/v) DMF; red bar, adding 1% (v/v) DMF; pink bar, adding 2% (v/v) DMF. Values are the mean ± SD of results from three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate a significant difference compared to the untreated strain (p < 0.05, Student’s t test)
