Aspergillus fumigatus isolates biofilm growth curves. Biofilm growth was assessed at different inoculum concentrations ranging from 1 × 104 (square), 1 × 105 (triangle) to 1 × 106 (circle) and various incubation times (0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 h) and at two dissimilar temperatures (28 and 37 °C). In addition, two strains isolated from different niches were used (clinical and soil isolates). Significant differences were determined by a Student-Newman-Keuls test, performing a multicomparison of procedures (p < 0.050). The significant difference is described as follows: *comparison of the inocula of the biofilm at 24 h; **Comparison among the inocula at 20 h
