Talaromyces aurantiacus (TalA-JX04): Colonies on CYA at 25°C after 7 days (A), Conidiophores, phialides and conidia (B–D); Conidia (E); Aspergillus neoniger (AspN-JX16): Colonies on CYA at 25°C after 7 days (F), Head of conidiophore, phialides, and conidia (G); Double spore production cells (H); Conidia (I). Scale bars = 5 μm.
Fig 3.
Phylogenetic tree of the CaM sequence of TalA-JX04 (A) and AspN-JX16 (B). The NJ phylogram was inferred from partial CaM sequence data. Bootstrap percentages of >70% derived from 1000 replicates are indicated at the nodes. Bar = 0.02 substitutions per nucleotide position.
Table 3.
The mycelial biomass and pH after incubation of TalA-JX04 and AspN-JX16 in the liquid medium under various initial pH.
Fig 4.
The solubilizing capacity of five P sources under different initial pH of TalA-JX04 (A) and AspN-JX16 (B). Note: Value = Mean ± standard error. The uppercase indicated the differences (p <0.05) among the five P sources within same initial pH and the lowercase indicated the differences (p <0.05) among the initial pH within the same P sources.
