Occurrence of Heat-Resistant Mold Ascospores in Pineapple and Sugarcane Field Soils in Thailand

Figure 9

Box plots representing variability of log reduction (log N₅/N) of ascospores produced by 13 HRM species that survived heat treatment at 75°C for 30 min in a glucose-buffered solution (12.5°Brix, pH 3.6). Horizontal lines within the boxes represent medians, box bounds at 25th and 75th percentiles, while the whiskers denote 10th and 90th percentiles.
