Figure 1: Effect of environmental conditions on the ability of Enterobacter cloacae to inhibit the germination of conidia produced by Penicillium digitatum strains assessed using plate-to-plate assays. (A) Effect of temperature on E. cloacae’s ability to inhibit the germination of conidia produced by P51 and DOB-2 strains. (B) Effect of the pH valves on E. cloacae’s ability to inhibit the germination of conidia produced by P51 and DOB-2 strains. The E. cloacae E010 strain was cultured on KB medium at varying temperatures for 24 h. The KB medium plates were attached to PDA plates culturing P51 or DOB-2 and incubated for an additional 24 h. The percentage of conidial germination was compared to those attached to KB medium plates only.
