Quantification of the spores of T. harzianum encapsulated in the wet (WMP) and dry (DMP) calcium alginate microparticles, during storage for 90 days at 5 and 30°C, using the CFU g–1 and Neubauer chamber techniques. (A) Log10 spore quantification using the CFU g–1 method applied to the wet and dry microparticles; (B) Log10 quantification of spores (conidia/mL) using the Neubauer chamber method applied to the wet and dry microparticles. The encapsulated fungus presented higher spore viability during the period evaluated. * No conidia growth at this time. a refers to the significant difference in the quantification of spores on the evaluated days when compared to day 0.
