Figure 2

Lesion intensity on P. tolaasii -inoculated mushrooms in the presence and absence of Bdellovibrio . Lesion intensities on mushroom pilei under 5 different treatment conditions, detailed to the right of the graph. Each P tolaasii 2192T inoculation contained 1.7 × 106 CFU, and each B. bacteriovorus HD100 inoculation contained 2.9 × 106 PFU. Higher lesion intensity indicates a greater level of brown blotch disease symptoms and therefore a higher level of P. tolaasii infection. Horizontal black bars indicate the mean lesion intensity value for each treatment group. Student’s t-test of significance between B. bacteriovorus HD100 treated and non-treated mushrooms inoculated with P. tolaasii 2192T: **p < 0.01, ***p <0.001.
