Comparison of metabolic aptitudes of different wood-rotting fungi.
(A) Phenotype profiles of P. pini FCL3, T. versicolor FCL7, P. radiata FCL99, C. unicolor FCL139, P. chrysosporium FCL236, F. betulina FCL397, A. gallica FCL400, and F. hepatica FCL457 determined by Biolog FF MicroPlates during 192 hours of incubation with respective substrates. The color scale applied into the heat maps indicates the growth of the fungus (mitochondrial activity A490nm) on a particular substrate. (B) Metabolic diversity (substrate richness) of the fungi representing different rot lifestyles; vertical bars denote 0.95 confidence intervals. (C) Metabolic preferences of fungi towards utilization of a particular group of carbon substrates. (D) Cluster analysis-based dendrogram showing similarity of the FF MicroPlate C-sources utilization profiles of the analyzed strains; P. pini FCL3, T. versicolor FCL7, P. radiata FCL99, C. unicolor FCL139, P. chrysosporium FCL 236, F. betulina FCL397, A. gallica FCL400, and F. hepatica FCL457.

C. unicolor growth in different lighting treatments (white, red, blue and, green light, darkness) in the presence of various groups of potentially toxic chemical compounds.
The scale represents growth values (OD 750 nm) after 10 days of incubation. The horizontal line at a value of 0.2 represents the growth threshold considered positive.
