Visualisation of the conidial surface by scanning electron microscopy. Conidia from 5-day-old cultures of the reference strains CBS 113.26 (A and C) and IHEM 18963 (B and D) cultivated in the presence (C and D) or not (A and B) of pyroquilon 20 μg/mL, and of mutant isolates (E and F: pigmentless isolates IHEM 2508 and 9860; G: brownish isolate IHEM 15998) were observed by scanning electron microscopy.
