Appressorium formation induced by different waxes or wax components.
Conidia from strains Ku80 (WT), M6 (Momsb2), Mosho1 (S72), and MS88 (Momsb2 Mosho1) were place over microscope glass slides coated with bee waxes (A), paraffin waxes (B), C28 primary alcohol 1-Octacosanol (C), and C31 alkane hentricacontane (D). Bar = 10 µm.
