Glucose Uptake Raw Data for Aspergillus nidulans Strains

Glucose uptake was measured in aliquots of 2.5 x 10^7 germinating conidia across three A. nidulans strains (MH2, MK422, MK85) after transfer to media containing 0.025, 0.125, 0.5, or 2 mM glucose. The data originates from research by Margaret E. Katz, referencing methods from McCabe et al. (2003). The dataset is shared under an Open Access (green) license via the paperswithcode platform.

Use Cases

• Modeling glucose transport kinetics based on uptake measurements at different substrate concentrations.
• Comparing metabolic activity between wild-type and xprG mutant strains of Aspergillus nidulans.
• Training regression models to predict uptake rates from glucose concentration and strain genotype.

Strengths

• Measurements are provided for three distinct genetic strains (MH2, MK422, MK85), enabling comparative analysis.
• Uptake was tested at four specific glucose concentrations (0.025, 0.125, 0.5, 2 mM), providing a dose-response profile.
• The experimental protocol is explicitly referenced to a prior published method (McCabe et al., 2003).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
