Note: the diameter of colony >7.5mm, good growth; 7.5mm>the diameter of colony<5mm , poor growth; -, no growth; Transformants-p: P. chrysogenum transformants by transformation of protoplasts with PEG; Transformants-a: P. chrysogenum transformants using A. tumefaciens; twenty strains were selected from control, transformants-p, transformants-a, respectively.
