title: A statistical protocol to describe differences among nutrient utilization patterns of <i>Fusarium</i> spp. and <i>Trichoderma gamsii</i>
abstract: Abstract The Biolog phenotype microarrays (PM) system offers a simple and cheap tool to rapidly provide a high throughput of information about the phenotypes of fungal isolates in a short time. In order to improve the use of the PM system in fungal ecology studies, the present work proposes a new statistical protocol based on two approaches, that is, a functional principal components analysis to describe similarity patterns of growth curves, and a Bayesian generalized additive model (GAM) to all
