Fig. 4. Spore germination and growth patterns observed under different temperatures and illumination strength. (A) Growth curves of monospores by temperature. (B, C) Growth curve of gamates under illumination at 1,000 lux (B) and 2,500 lux (C). Statistical significance was evaluated using the Kruskal–Wallis/Mann–Whitney U test. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01, compared with control group (the 5°C Sohan Valley water group).
