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.
