FIGURE 5.

Panel A shows a dense network of elongated fungal cells labeled as control. Panel B presents normal hyphae under control conditions. Panel C illustrates hyphae with cell wall breaking, indicated by an arrow. Panel D highlights swollen hyphae with an arrow marking the swollen region. Panel E depicts hyphal fragmentation as marked by an arrow. Panel F displays mycelia degeneration with an arrow pointing to the degenerated area. All panels are microscopic images demonstrating morphological changes in fungal structures under different conditions.

Microscopic differences between fungal hyphae in control and fungal hyphae bio-controlled by plant growth promoting isolates. (A,B) microscopic views of untreated fungal hyphae (Control). (C–F) showed deformities in mycelia of treated fungi such as cell wall breaking, swollen hyphae, hyphal fragmentation and mycelia degeneration, etc. Images were acquired at 400x magnification.
