In vivo assay of spore development reductions of C. gloeosporioides (a), C. acutatum (b), and B. dothidea (c) on harvested apples after treatment with P. polymyxa APEC136 and B. subtilis APEC170 suspensions (1×108 CFU/ml), compared with untreated controls after 10 d of incubation at 25 °C
Each treatment consisted of 18 replicates (fruits), and the experiment was carried out at least twice. Bars with the same letters do not differ significantly from each other, according to the least significant difference test at P<0.05. Data are expressed as mean±SE
