Fig. 4From: Tomato root microbiota and Phytophthora parasitica-associated diseaseBacterial isolate analyses. a Plate confrontation assay of the E. coli strain and the M2-isolates (I-1G6, I-3G9, I-1E12, and I-1G3) exhibiting antimicrobial activity against P. parasitica (P) performed on V8 extract agar medium. b Histogram of the disease rate measured at different days post zoospore inoculation (ā) or during a tripartite interaction with E. coli (ā”),I-3G9 (ā), I-1E12 (ā²), I-1G6 (ā¦), or I-1G3 (ā ). Disease symptoms of individual plants were monitored at 3, 5, 8, and 13 days (dpi). I-3G9 as well as I-1E12 differed from E.coli and mock inoculation in disease index measured at 3 and 5 dpi (nā=ā5, Studentās t test, 0.004ā<āpā<ā0.035).
