a

The median MICs (μg/ml) of the BY4741 (wt) strain to CAS, AMB, FLC, cycloheximide, and GT were 0.007, 0.125, 32, 0.025, and 0.5, respectively, as determined by broth microdilution susceptibility testing in both inocula tested (∼105 and ∼103 yeast cells/well).

b

The disk diffusion method showed that the radius of the zone of growth inhibition of the BY4741 strain to H2O2 (21.0 ± 0.7 mm) was comparable to those of the GT-IR and GT-IS strains (P was not significant for all comparisons).
