Fig 5. Optical microscopic observation of Fusarium culmorum macroconidia formation after 30 days (from dual culture assay of the five selected bacterial strains).

Green square indicates total inhibition of F. culmorum macroconidia production, yellow square indicates partial inhibition and red square indicates macroconidia formation in the control; scale bar = 0.33 mm; M: F. culmorum macroconidia. Data correspond to the mean of a minimum of three biological replicates ± SD. Different letters above data show significant differences within rows (p ≤ 0.05).
