Table 4.

Resistance to biocides and to the wetting agent Genapol-X-080 of the Chaetomium-like strains and the selected indoor and outdoor fungal strains and mammalian cell lines. Resistance was measured based on conidial and ascospore germination, which were evaluated in terms of the formation of germ tubes as observed under a light microscope, increased turbidity, fluorescence emission and resporulation.
