Eighteen Petri dishes with T. longibrachiatum were used to
collect sufficient conidia for the experiment. The suspension of
54 ml was then mixed using a hand mixer to separate and disperse
the conidia. The density of conidia was assessed using a
haemocytometer. Suspension of different densities, 1.5 107
,
1.5 106
, 7.5 105
, 3.0 105 and 1.5 105 conidia ml1
, were
prepared and stored at 4 C.
