The resulting conidial suspension was serially diluted with sterile distilled water and evenly spread onto potato dextrose agar (PDA) amended with 0.05% lactic acid (v/v). After one day incubation at 25°C, germinated conidia were individually removed from PDA using a fine needle and a stereomicroscope, p...
