TABLE 1.

Strains used in this study, their geographical origins, and sporulation efficiencies after ∼72 h.

Strain name	Origin	Sporulation efficiency (mean of n = 3 ± SD)
YPS128	United States; soil beneath Quercus alba	0.669 ± 0.048
4X	Recombinant	0.632 ± 0.02
Y12	Japan; sake	0.491 ± 0.032
DBVPG6044	West Africa; palm wine	0.029 ± 0.025
DBVPG6765	Europe; wine	0.026 ± 0.0189

Reported sporulation efficiencies are the means of three biological replicates (independent sporulating cultures) ± one standard deviation of the mean. P-values from post-hoc Dunn tests are provided in Supplementary Table S4.
