Predictors of chemotaxis

OR (A/NA) 95% CI P value
Man 4.93 1.77–5.05 <0.0001
Gal 9.14 8.93–9.30 <0.0001
Fuc 6.95 6.82–9.96 <0.0001
GluNAc 6.59 6.45–6.74 <0.0001
GalNAc 4.49 4.39–4.57 <0.0001
NeuNAc 3.02 2.94–3.09 <0.0001

For each of the sugars tested, the odds of zoospores being attracted (OR) based on the group ratio attracted (A) versus non-attracted (NA), is given with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) and P value

Man mannose, Gal galactose, Fuc fucose, GluNAc N-acetylglucosamine, GalNAc N-acetylgalactosamine, NeuNAc N-acetylneuraminic acid
