Growth rate of the SNF1 pathway mutants on non-fermentable carbon media.

Vegetative growth rate (%) = (the diameter of strains on MM with various carbon sources/the diameter of cultures on regular MM plates) ×100; colony diameters on regular MM plates are set as 100% control. Data were collected from 10 days postincubation and presented as means±SD from three independent experiments. Duncan's multiple range tests were used to determine significance at the 0.05 level of probability. The same letters in a column mean no significant difference.
