Explore the impact of various carbon sources on the growth and cutin-degrading activities of M. grisea strains using a plate growth assay. Results indicate differences in extracellular cutin-degrading activities among Guy11, cut2, and cut2/CUT2 strains.

(A) MM with1% glucose;(B) MM without glucose; (C) MM with 0.2% cutin; (D)MM with 500 mg L-1PCL; (E) MM with 0.1% Tween 80; (F) Extracellular cutin-degrading activities of Guy11, cut2 and cut2/CUT2 strains visualized by yellow haloes formed on addition of PNB substrate to 10 day old MM plates, carrying 0.2% plant cutin as sole carbon source. The yellow halo formed by cut2 is smaller and fainter compared with the halo seen in Guy11 and cut2/CUT2 strains, indicating reduced extracellular cutin-degrading activity of the cut2 mutant.
