FIG. 2.

Growth of Graphium sp. on cyclic ethers, lactones, acids, terminal diols, or nitrogen heterocycles. Liquid cultures of Graphium sp. were grown in glass bottles (700 ml) as described in Materials and Methods. Each culture contained MSM (50 ml), conidia (2.5 × 10⁶), and a potential growth substrate (20 mM initial concentration). The figure shows the dry weight of mycelia generated after 14 days, after subtraction of the dry weight of mycelia (0.33 to 6.9 mg) generated in control cultures incubated in MSM alone. The data presented are the means and standard errors for three replicates.
