The C. gloeosporioides wild type (A) strain and Cgpkac1 mutant (B) displaying appressoria and bidirectional germ tubes. The image was captured with an Olympus phase contrast microscope (200x magnification) and a Nikon digital camera. (a: appressorium; c: conidium; fg: first germ tube; sg: second germ tube).
