Growth profiles of F. verticillioides CNO-1 grown in vitro with different sources of nitrogen.
(A) Sporulation production at DAI 3 (3 days after inoculation); (B) Fungal cell densities (OD600) at logistic increment; (C) Fungal mycelial growth at linear increment; (D) Colonies of F. verticillioides CNO-1 observed at DAI 3 in sodium nitrate (D1, top view; D2, bottom view), ammonium sulfate (D3, top view; D4, bottom view) and urea (D5, top view; D6, bottom view). Different letters in Fig. 2A indicate highly significant differences (P < 0.01). Error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean on at least three replicates.
