Exposition to UV-A light stimulated the growth and synthesis of raspberry ketone in submerged cultures of the basidiomycete Nidula niveotomentosa. To investigate the fungus' response to UV-A light differentially expressed proteins were identified by means of 2D-electrophoresis. Light induced proteins
