Lichtheimia Species Exhibit Differences in Virulence Potential
Figure 5
Physiology and virulence of Lichtheimia and Dichotomocladium strains.
Heat map generated from virulence and physiological data of 12 representative strains of Lichtheimia and 4 strains of Dichotomocladium species. Virulence is expressed as percent mortality of chicken embryos. Growth rates are expressed as percent growth of the reference strain and stress resistance as percent growth of control without stressor. The L. corymbifera FSU 9682 was used as reference strain and values obtained with this strain were set as ‘0’ by subtracting the values of the reference strain from all other values.
