2.3 Media
Fungal cultures were grown on Basal medium (BM)
containing (g L-1): 20g glucose, 15g agar, 2g
asparagine, 0.5g MgSO4 7H2O, 0.46g KH2PO4, 1g
K2HPO4 and 0.01% w w-1 dye. Inoculums consisted
of 6 mm agar plugs of one week old cultures grown
on PDA at 26oC. The plug cut under sterile
conditions from the outer edge of the agar plate and
transferred onto the center of the experimental
plates for each replicate. A control plate with no dye
added was also inoculated with each strain. The
plates were incubated at 26oC for at least 30 days.
