TABLE 3.

Colony-forming unit (CFU) of Cladosporium herbarum FSU 1148 conidia treated with 100 μg ml^–1 Neosartorya fischeri antifungal protein (NFAP), γ^NFAP-opt, and γ^NFAP-optGZ peptides.

Protein/peptide	CFU (conidia ml–1)	P-value	Significance
NFAP	1.5 ± 0.4 × 106	0.06576	Ns
γNFAP	2.1 ± 0.4 × 106	0.81034	Ns
γNFAP-opt	1.3 ± 0.6 × 105	0.00512	*
γNFAP-optChZ	2.3 ± 0.4 × 106	0.81034	Ns
γNFAP-optGZ	0.7 ± 0.6 × 105	0.00512	*
Untreated	2.2 ± 0.7 × 106	–	–

Significance was determined in two-tailed Mann–Whitney U-test in comparison of each treatment with the untreated control. ns, not significant difference, *P < 0.05.
