Bacterial CFU numbers recovered from P. tolaasii -inoculated mushrooms in the presence and absence of Bdellovibrio . Lesion intensities and number of bacterial colony forming units (CFU) recovered from mushroom pilei subject to three different treatments detailed to the right. Each P. tolaasii 2192T inoculation contained 1.7 × 106 CFU. Images of mushrooms with typical: high, mean, and low intensity lesions in each group are shown below the graph. Horizontal black bars indicate the mean values for lesion intensity/CFU count in each treatment group. Student’s t-test of significance between B .bacteriovorus-treated and non-treated mushrooms inoculated with P. tolaasii 2192T: *p <0.05, ***p <0.001.
