Table 1.

Correlations between the growth of six fungal strains on seven different carbon sources at 9 days after inoculation (dai; λ = 405 nm) in two independent assays with identical conditions.

The second and third columns display the mean of the cumulated growth of the six strains for the first and second assays, respectively. The fourth column shows the standard deviation (σ) of the pooled measurements from both assays. The fifth and sixth columns display the determination coefficient between two assays (r2) and its level of significance (P). The last column presents the slope of the regression line (b). Note that carbon sources with lower standard deviation have low correlations between assays. However, not all the carbon sources with higher standard deviation present high correlations.
