showing colony growths on PDA, PSA, and oatmeal agar<br />

(OA) incubated at ART, 21 °C, and 28 °C at 15 d after<br />

inoculation.<br />

plate is zonated and white to dark purple. At 28 °C<br />

under alternating 12-h fluorescent light and 12-h<br />

darkness, colonies grow moderately fast and attain a<br />

5.73-cm diam in 5 d. They are slightly zonated, floccose<br />

with even margins, and white with light purplish<br />

coloration at the center. The colony on the reverse<br />

side of the agar plate appears slightly zonated and<br />

dark purple and lighter outward.<br />
