Within columns, means with different letters are significantly different according to Duncan's multiple range test (p = 0.05).
Colonies were measured after 5 days on PDA.
Conidia were counted in 5-day-old CMC cultures.
Conidia were harvested from CMC cultures, and 100 were observed per strain with a light microscope.
