Relative material strength measured in a high-shear mixer. (A) Average size (n = 4) of fungal elements versus time in the high-shear mixer for material from the control () and ΔmpkA () mutant. Lines indicate exponential fit used to determine specific fragmentation rate. (B) Average size of fungal elements for the control and ΔmpkA mycelial material after 5s of high-shear mixing are significantly different (P = 0.02). (C) Fragmentation rate, determined from exponential fits in A, are not significantly different (P = 0.96)
