Agar plates of PDA, MEA, yeast extract potato dextrose
agar (YEPDA; Sigma) and NYDA (nutrient yeast dextrose agar; 0.8%
nutrient broth, 0.5% yeast extract,1% glucose and 2% agar; Scharlab)
media were seeded by spreading 200 mL of a conidia solution at
5 108 spores/mL of the pathogenic mould isolates on the surface.
After drying, the agar plates were inoculated with 5 mL of concentrated
culture media and/or the non-viable autoclaved cell suspension.
