The analysis of possible metabolization of NeuNAc in H. jecorina. The parental strain was pre-cultured on glycerol, and half of the mycelia were autoclaved. Living (light grey) and dead (dark grey) mycelia were transferred to MA media containing glycerol or MA media that lacked a carbon source, and NeuNAc (a) or GlcNAc (b) (as positive control) was added to both media. Samples were collected at 0 and 8 h. For NeuNAc analysis supernatants were derivatized using DMB befor analyses using HPLC. The presented values are the means of two biological duplicates that were derivatized in duplicate. Error bars indicate the standard deviations.
