“…For the conidial structures, conidia measured 2.6–4.8 × 2.6–4.4 µm, falling within a distinct range that is smaller than those of M. rothbergiorum (4.0–5.5 × 3.5–4.5 µm), M. verrucosus (5.0–7.0 × 4.5–6.0 µm), and M. restrictus (4.5–6.0 × 4.0–5.5 µm), but comparable in size to M. murinus, which tends to be more elongated (4.0–6.0 × 1.5–1.9 µm). The phialides of KNUF-23-321CT are globose, with a notably broad length range of 3.7–22.5 µm and a width of 0.9–1.5 µm, making it one of the most variable in length compared to species like T. album (3.5–10 µm) and T. endophyticum (1.3 ± 0.2 µm, 4.1 µm on average). …”
