Integrity　of　the　cell　wall　is　requisite　for　fungal　growth　and　function.　Sur7　governs　cell　wall　composition,　and　affects　conidial　sporulation　and　germination　in　Beauveria　bassiana,　a　filamentous　entomopathogenic　fungus.　The　role　of　Sur7　in　fungal　growth　on　various　nutrients　remains　unclear.　We　have　previously　reported　that　Sur7　deletion　results　in　the　attenuation　of　B.　bassiana　growth　on　supplemented　Sabouraud　dextrose　agar　(SDAY)　and　minimal　Czapek-Dox　agar　(CDA)　compared　to　wild　type　(WT).　Here,　we　used　transcriptomic　analysis　to　compare　WT　and　Sur7　mutant　(Delta　Sur7)　responses　to　CDA　and　SDAY.　Growth　on　CDA,　compared　with　that　on　SDAY,　affected　the　expression　of　more　genes　in　the　WT　than　in　the　mutant.　Differentially　expressed　genes　were　enriched　for　transportation　process　terms　in　the　Delta　Sur7　mutant　and　metabolic　process　terms　in　the　WT.　Different　processes　were　repressed　in　the　Delta　Sur7　(metabolic　process)　and　WT　(ribosome　synthesis)　cells.　Despite　the　shared　enrichment　of　nitrogen　metabolism　genes,　differentially　expressed　genes　were　enriched　in　distinct　saccharide-energy　metabolism　terms　in　each　strain.　We　conclude　that　Sur7　ensures　the　growth　of　B.　bassiana　in　a　minimal　medium　by　influencing　the　expression　of　genes　involved　in　the　consumption　of　sucrose　via　specific　energy　metabolism　pathways.
