FIGURE 2.
Effect of pH, glucose concentration and temperature on in vitro antagonistic activity of Gram-positive and Gram-negative antagonists against E. amylovora. Control conditions consisted of growth on AB with 0.4% glucose, pH 7.0 at room temperature (22°C). Variations of pH, glucose concentration and incubation temperature were explored in representative (A–C) Gram-positive (blue) and (D–F) Gram-negative (yellow) isolates. Asterisks denote statistically significant differences between the indicated variable and control conditions: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001; ns, non-significant (P > 0.05). (G,H) Representative images of the assay with Gram-positives (G) and Gram-negatives (H). Priestia sp. ABR6, Bacillus sp. 2175, Bacillus sp. BWC, Rahnella sp. EL51, Pseudomonas sp. ABR5, Pseudomonas sp. 2180.
