a The growth situation of T. mentagrophytes in 5 groups. SDA with 1 mM EDTA was supplemented to generate zinc deficient SDA, named SDA-Zn (zinc ions have been chelated). The 150-μL fungus liquid was inoculated to SDA (sufficient zinc ions, grouped into Norm) and SDA-Zn with 200, 400, 600, and 1000 μM of zinc sulfate (grouped into Zn200, Zn400, Zn600, and Zn1000) respectively. T. mentagrophytes can grow well on SDA in Norm and Zn1000, the growth of Zn200、Zn400 and Zn600 T. mentagrophyte was inhibited, especially in Zn200. b The each group was stained by lacto phenol cotton blue. Norm and Zn1000 mycelium grow well and with numerous round microconidia. A small number of microconidia and mycelium can be observed in Zn600, and even fewer in Zn400. We could not detect favorable microconidia and the mycelium was particularly weak in Zn200. c T. mentagrophytes from Zn200, Zn400 and Zn600 were inoculated into normal medium and Zn1000 medium, the T. mentagrophytes growth traits returned to normal, T. mentagrophytes can grow well on SDA in Norm and Zn1000
