The parental A. fumigatus A1160 strain was purchased from FGSC (Fungal Genetics Stock Center, School of Biological Sciences, University of Missouri, Kansas City). The AfcpcB mutant derived from A1160 by replacing the complete AfcpcB open reading frame (ORF) with the pyr4 selectable marker was designated AfcpcB deletion mutant. Transcriptome analysis was used to show the mRNA expression in the parental A. fumigatus A1160 strain and the AfcpcB deletion mutant, respectively
