FIGURE 1.

Numbers of articles from the PubMed database queried to show differences in publications referring to culturing of fungi vs. culturability of fungi. (A) Results of query (“fungi”[TIAB] OR “fungal”[TIAB]) AND (“culture”[TIAB] OR “culturing”[TIAB] OR “co-culture”[TIAB] OR “co-culturing”[TIAB]). (B) Results of query (“fungi”[TIAB] OR “fungal”[TIAB]) AND (“culturability”[TIAB] OR “cultivability”[TIAB]). Arrows denote approximate time frame when high throughput methods became widely used to sequence fungal genomes.
