•At 2k where k  =  the number of separate tests and probabilities, thus degrees of freedom  = 2(4)  = 8			−2 ∑ ln(P)  = 24.482 *
χ2 0.001 [8]  = 24.482 >0.00186, thus highly significant [32]

^aThe different fungal isolate serves as a replica of the same statistical test for mitosis.

^bChi-square value as determined from the original replica isolates as shown in supplementary information (Table S1) for that specific isolate.

^cLowest possible probability score associated to that chi-square value determined by R programming [32].

^dThe logarithmic value of the probability^c.

^*The formula used to derive the sum of all the separate tests for each replica.

^•The number of degrees of freedom is established by taking twice the number of separate tests and probabilities carried out initially (thus 2k  = 2(4)  = 8 degrees of freedom). A 99.999% level of confidence was applied.
