Effect of butyl acetate on C. gloeosporioides growth, mycelial morphology, and spore number. a Representative images of C. gloeosporioides mycelial growth under control conditions and on indicated concentrations of butyl acetate after a 10-day incubation at room temperature in the dark. b Representative micrographs of mycelium from a. Mycelial samples were mixed with a drop of brilliant blue and visualized under a microscope with 10 × and 40 × objectives. c Quantification of C. gloeosporioides spores after treatment with butyl acetate. Bars represent the median spore number ± SE (n = 3). d Percentage of C. gloeosporioides radial growth inhibition (data represent the median ± SE; n = 4). Different letters represent statistically different means (α < 0.01 in the Tukey’s post-hoc test). Three biological experiments were performed
