Intra and inter-specific CAT fusion in water in C. gloeosporioides and C. siamense. a Intra-specific CAT fusion in 17 days old C. gloeosporioides conidia. b Intra-specific CAT fusion in 17 days old C. siamense conidia. c Inter-specific CAT fusion between 17 days old C. gloeosporioides and C. siamense conidia. d Percentage CAT fusion in different aged conidia (4 × 105 in 1 ml of water) viz. 6, 10, 13, 17 and 20 days of C. gloeosporioides and C. siamense 72 h post-incubation. e Percentage CAT fusion in 17 days old conidia (4 × 105 in 1 ml of water) of C. gloeosporioides and C. siamense incubated for different incubation time viz. 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. f Percentage CAT fusion in 17 days old conidia (4 × 105 in 1 ml of water) of C. gloeosporioides and C. siamense grown and incubated individually and in co-culture in water for 72 h. g Percentage CAT fusion in different conidial densities viz. 4 × 102, 4 × 103, 4 × 104, 4 × 105 and 4 × 106 of 17 days old conidia incubated in 1 ml of water for 72 h. Arrow indicates CAT fusion, asterisk (*) symbol indicates C. siamense conidia and plus (+) symbol indicates conidia of C. gloeosporioides. Cg: C. gloeosporioides and Cs: C. siamense. CAT fusion was quantified as the percentage of conidia involved in fusion. Average from 3 replicates (n = 3) and 150 conidial pairs were counted per replicate. Bar indicates standard deviation. Statistical significance of differences was analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison post-hoc test (bars with the same letter are not significantly different; p ≤ 0.05). Scale Bar = 20 μm
