(A) Fungal development in insect haemocoels. S. litura larvae were injected with the spores of the WT and mutants and bled for microscopic examination of fungal development at 72, 96, and 132 h. (B) Concentration of hyphal bodies in insect haemocoels. Fungal cells were counted using a haemocytometer. HC, haemocyte; HB, hyphal body. Bar = 20 μm. Error bars are standard deviations of three trials. Means indicated by the same uppercase letter are not significantly different from one another, P < 0.01.
