a trend towards significancep = 0.051
The zeta potential of the conidia of the control strain (6 ± 1.4 mV) was significantly lower when compared to that of the Δ olvA spores (-10 ± 0 mV) and showed a trend towards significance for the Δ brnA and Δ fwnA conidia (-9.5 ± 0.7 mV; p = 0.051) ( Fig. 1B ).
