From: A novel fungal metabolite inhibits Plasmodium falciparum transmission and infection
The candidate fungus was identified as Purpureocillium lilacinum. Colonies for observation were grown on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium plates for 7–15 days at 25 °C. a Short conidiophores; b long conidiophores; c solitary phialide-producing catenate conidia. Arrows in a, b, c point to phialides. d, e Typical sub-globose conidia; f cylindrical conidia; g colony surface on PDA medium plate (top); h colony reverse on PDA (bottom). Scale bar: 10 μM. i A maximum parsimony tree was constructed based on ITS sequences, and bootstrap values above 50% are indicated at the nodes
