| A1560 | 97 ± 7 | 3.32 ± 0.05 | 0.26 | 0.06 |

Values in batch cultivation were obtained after 23 h of cultivation during exponential growth for A1560, ChsB/G, and CM101. Hyphal diameter was measured in the middle of the second subapical compartment. Branches per compartment is the average number of branches observed in apical compartments (lateral and apical branches excluding the growing tip), and in subapical compartments it is the average number of branches observed in three to seven subapical compartments. More than 165 hyphal elements were measured for each value.
