Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fungal isolates were cultured on PDA (Oxoid Ltd., Basingstoke, UK) for 14 days at 25 ± 1 °C under 14:10 h photoperiods. Conidia were harvested by scraping the surface of the medium using sterile wooden spatula into 20 mL 0.05% (v/v) Tween 80 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, USA) inside sterile 50 mL centrifuge tubes and homogenized by vortexing for 3 min. The conidial suspension was sieved through four layers of cheese cloth [20 (link)]. A ten-fold serial dilution of the spore suspension was done, and an aliquot estimated on a hemocytometer followed by a final adjustment to 108. For the multiple-dose bioassay, five different conidial concentrations (1 × 104 to 1 × 108 conidia mL−1), were prepared.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
