Assessment of Lysobacter capsici AZ78 resistance to heavy metals. Lc AZ78 (white columns) was evaluated to assess its ability to resist zinc (A) and cobalt (B) at two concentrations (0.5 and 1 mM). B. amyloliquefaciens FZB42 (gray columns) was used as control. Mean and standard error values (columns) for six replicates (Petri dishes) pooled from two experiments are reported for each heavy metal concentration. Different letters indicate significant differences according to Tukey's test (α = 0.05).
