Table 1. Comparison of phenotypic characteristics between the mutants and wild type 3608 of H. minnesotensis.
Strains | Colony diameterA(mm) | BiomassB(mg/plate) | ConidiationC (106conidia/plate) |
---|---|---|---|
WT-3608 | 14.5 ± 0.34b | 22.50 ± 0.95b | 2.41 ± 0.14b |
HD-29 | 14.83 ± 0.31b | 21.83 ± 0.91b | 1.29 ± 0.11c |
HOX-28 | 16.33 ± 0.21a | 59.67 ± 2.21a | 3.28 ± 0.23a |
(A) Colony diameter was recorded on PDA plates following incubation at 25 °C for 14 days. (B) Biomass (fresh-weight) was calculated from 14-day-old cultures. (C) Conidia production in14-day-old cultures were counted using a haemocytometer. The mean values and standard error were calculated from 6 replicates. The letters within each column indicate statistically significant differences of P ≤ 0.05.
