Hyphae were examined following 12 hr growth on YGV at 28°. “% pol” refers to the percentage of conidiospores that possess a recognizable germ tube. “% pol (n ≥ 4)” refers to the percentage of conidiospores with four or more nuclei that possess a recognizable germ tube. The number of nuclei was determined by Hoechst 33258 staining as described in materials and methods. Numbers are percentages.
