Figure 5. Diversity of interactions in bioassays examining the presence and degree of Pseudonocardia inhibition of cultivars for symbionts isolated from across the phylogenetic diversity of the ant-fungus-bacterium association.

Each box represents the average zone of inhibition (ZOI; n = 3) of a given pairing and different shades of grey indicate the degree of inhibition: White: ZOI<0.50 cm, Light grey: ZOI = 0.51−1.00 cm, Grey: ZOI = 1.01−1.50 cm, Darker grey: ZOI = 1.51−2.00 cm, and Darkest grey: ZOI>2.01 cm.
