Phenotypical differences between selected deletion strains obtained using pyr2 as selective marker. Three media types were used, the rich media PDA, and MM with and without supplemented adenine. It is seen that MJ-T-006 is dark green (as the wild-type) while the other mutant strains all have variations in their colorations. MJ-T-009 (ade2 Δ) has a yellow coloration and is at the same time adenine auxotroph, MJ-T-012 (pks4 Δ) has a white coloration and can grow in absence of adenine while MJ-T-021 (ade2 Δ/pks4 Δ) has a light brown coloration and is also adenine auxotroph.
