a

Sporidial dilution series of each genotype were plated, and growth properties were rated 1 day after plating as normal growth (+), reduced growth (+/−), strongly reduced growth (−), and no growth (−−). ND, not determined. Resistance to chlorate was assessed 7 days after plating in the presence of proline.

b

Growth characteristics in the chlorate assay are not compared to growth on media without chlorate.
