Effect of a long-pulse 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser small-area irradiation (300, 408 and 600 J/cm2; 200 spots) on the growth of T. rubrum in vitro.At 300 J/cm2, colony area was not different from that control until the 9th day. At 408 J/cm2, T. rubrum was inhibited，growth started again on the 8th day and was gradually restored. At 600 J/cm2, the colony growth was completely stopped. T. rubrum colonies (left side: control; right side: laser). a-d: 300 J/cm2, colonies on the first, second, sixth, and ninth days, respectively; e-h: 408 J/cm2, colonies on the first, second, eighth, and tenth days, respectively; i-l: 600 J/cm2, colonies on the first, second, eighth, and tenth days, respectively
