Sporulation efficiency measurement of SGRP strains.

(a) Mean (with standard deviation) sporulation efficiency of each strain at saturation, i.e. when sporulation efficiency did not vary for three consecutive time points. (b) Sporulation efficiency as reported by Cubillos et al.[11]. The scale indicates: (+++) high, (++) medium, (+) low sporulation efficiency, (−) none, (NA) not applicable (either the strain was haploid or did not grow in YPA), (NS) did not sporulate and zero sporulation efficiency.
