Inhibition of M. oryzae appressoria after bacterial treatment. Effect of bacteria on M. oryzae 70–15 appressorial formation through A) direct bacterial treatment, or through B) indirect (or volatile) bacterial treatment. Germinated conidia were incubated in a 50uL drop with bacterial treatment (EA105, cyanide mutant D5, CHAO, cyanide mutant CHA77, or E. coli DH5α) or placed in a drop next to the bacterial treatment for the indirect assay. Error bars represent standard deviation. Different letters indicate a significant difference (Tukey’s HSD).
