Percentages and standard deviations were calculated from the bound conidia figures for two wells at each time point with four and two different primary cultures for A. fumigatus and P. chrysogenum respectiveley. ap value < 0.05 with the non-parametric Kruskall Wallis test for the two species for the same primary culture. | |||||
