FIG 4.
Strains were cultured on M medium with or without stress conditions, and agar medium was inoculated with 1 × 104 conidia. (A) Colony morphology of A. kawachii control, ΔlaeA, and ΔlaeA plus laeA strains. (B) Conidiation of A. kawachii control, ΔlaeA, and ΔlaeA plus laeA strains. All results are expressed as means and SDs. Asterisks indicate significant difference (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; Student’s t test) from the results for the control strain.
