Effects of SNP on the growth and development of Shiraia sp. S9. a Effect of SNP (0.01–1.00 mM) on the generation of conidia of S9 strain on day 8 in solid medium culture. b The morphologic characteristics of S9 strain was kept on PDA with or without SNP (0.10 mM) treatment for 8 days. c The diameter of S9 colony treated by SNP at 0.01–1.00 mM for 2–6 days. d The colony morphology of S9 strain with SNP (0.01–1.00 mM) treatment for 6 days. e Pellet morphology (15 ×) in submerged culture of S9 strain under SNP treatment at 0.10 mM on day 3. The culture was maintained in 150-mL flask containing 50 mL of the liquid medium at 150 rpm and 28℃. The red arrow indicates pycnidium. The black arrow indicates addition time. Values are mean ± SD from three independent experiments (*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 vs. control)
