  1. Carbon assimilation was tested using 50 CH strips (biomerieuxdirect.com). Key to growth symbols: +, positive, w, weakly positive, −, negative. Abbreviations: Pgra, P. gravidus; Pino, P. inouyei; Pinu, P. inundatus; Plac, P. lactucaedebilis; Pmac, P. macrosporus; Ppac, P. pachydermus; Para, P. arabidopsidicola. Carbon sources listed in bold text are used differentially by these Protomyces species
