TABLE 1.

Phenotypic test results for Bcc wt strains and pC3-null derivatives constructed for this study^h

^aThe numbers given show the mean size of the zone of inhibition (mm) between bacteria and fungus in a dual-culture assay.

^bThe pathogenicity score was calculated as described in the Materials and Methods section; the maximum score was 3.

^cPathogenicity scores were calculated as described in the Materials and Methods section; the maximum score was 22.

^dProteolytic activity is given as a normalized value, calculated as described in the Materials and Methods section.

^eSignificance was determined using Student's t test for both antifungal and proteolytic activity assays and by the Breslow generalized Wilcoxon method for pathogenicity assays carried out in G. mellonella. Significance is indicated as follows: *, 0.01 ≤ P ≤ 0.05; **, 0.001 ≤ P ≤ 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ns, not significant.

^fThe strain produced very little EPS.

^gThe EPS phenotype was rough and opaque, containing clear bubble areas.

^hColor depth indicates the intensity of the phenotype tested. Results for strain H111 are included as a reference.
