^a Growth rate was detected by measuring the colony diameter of cultures incubated on PDA plates after 6 days at 28°C.

^{b, c} Conidia produced by static and shaking liquid cultures in YPG for 48 h at 28°C and counted with haematocytometer.

^d Dry weight of fungal biomass grown in Czapek dox medium.

^e Different letters within a column indicate statistically significant differences (P = 0.05). Error bars indicate the standard error from three replicates.
