Theobromine degradation capacity of tea-derived fungi in the liquid culture. a TLM-S = Theobromine liquid medium with sucrose as carbon source; TLM-D = Theobromine liquid medium with dextrose with sucrose as carbon source; b TLM-N = Theobromine liquid medium with ammonium sulphate as nitrogen source; TLM-SN = Theobromine liquid medium with sucrose and ammonium sulphate as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. Biocidal treatment without inoculation was defined as the control. All data were present by mean value ± SD of three biological replications. The lowercase letters indicated a significant difference at p < 0.05 levels by using Tukey’s multiple comparison test for one-way ANOVA. The different letters show significant differences
