Microscopic dimensions of Aspergillus isolates. Aspergillus heads, vesicles, spores, conidiophores, and phialides measured in micrometers (µm). Photos were taken by a Leica DM500 compound microscope and processed using ImageJ software. Scanning electron micrographs were also analyzed to reassure the microscopic dimensions. Number of examined replicates is shown in the bottom row of the table.

	Head Diameter (µm)	Vesicle Diameter (µm)	Spore Diameter (µm)	Conidiophore Width (µm)	Phialide Length (µm)	Spore Surface
A. japonicus	33.9	25.2	2.11	7.2	4.23	Rough
A. niger	38.8	20.6	1.606	6.7	4.5	Rough
A. flavus	25.8	18.1	2.64	4.8	3.9	Smooth
A. pseudoelegans	40.2	17.4	1.343	5.2	5	Smooth
No. of replicates	50	50	100	50	50	100
