a Phylogenetic tree of Aspergillus species and summarized phenotypes from this study (modified from [308]). All Aspergillus species were grown on malt extract agar (MEA) (blue) at 30 °C. Yellow squares stand for induced conidiation in white light. Abiotic and biotic stress determinants were colored in green for resistance (r), red for sensitive (s), no color for insensitive (-) and not determined (nd) different abiotic and biotic stressors: 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG), Hydrogen peroxide (OX), nitric oxide (NO), calcofluor white (CFW), caspofungin (CA), voriconazole (VO), amphotericin B (AmB), and Aspergillus-Pseudomonas fluorescens co-cultivation (Biotic). Species used in this study are framed in black. b Qualitative descriptive statistics of the exoproteome of four selected Aspergillus strains. Exoproteomes were enriched from filtered culture supernatants (Aspergillus MM, 30 °C) and analyzed by shotgun proteomics (LC-MS). Proteins were identified using draft genomic databases of the respective strains. For prediction of subcellular localization of the proteins the programs “SignaIP” and “WoLF PSORT” were used. For further analysis, sequences with an extracellular score >12 (WoLF PSORT) were defined as putatively secreted proteins (Additional file 18). Proteins with higher spectral count values after 0.2 mM hydrogen peroxide treatment (“upregulated after oxidative stress”) were selected statistically using MARVIS Filter (s/l > 0.5). c Exoproteomic heterogeneity in the genus Aspergillus. Comparative MARVIS cluster analysis of PFAM domains predicted in identified exoproteins (WoLF PSORT columns in bar chart B) of four selected Aspergillus species (WoLF PSORT: extracellular score >12) (Additional file 19). Colors represent the normalized frequency of occurrence of PFAM-domains in the respective exoproteome. Indicated by the color scale on the right, the color scale ranges from blue (no domain) via green (few domains) to red (more domains). Each column of the cluster image resembles one PFAM-domain.
