a Disease incidence of Pst-challenged Arabidopsis plants growing on sterilized vermiculite-sand mixtures inoculated with water (W), slurries of natural soil (NS) or slurries of soils preconditioned with mixtures of LCOAs and AAs (L + A), or SCOAs and sugars (S + S). b Disease incidence of Pst-challenged Arabidopsis plants growing on sterilized vermiculite-sand mixtures inoculated with filter-sterilized W, NS, L + A or S + S. c Disease incidence of Pst-challenged Arabidopsis plants growing on sterilized vermiculite-sand mixtures inoculated with W or L + A and S + S mixed in a ratio of 1:9, 5:5, or 9:1 (v/v). d Disease incidence of Pst-challenged Arabidopsis plants growing on sterilized vermiculite-sand mixtures inoculated with W or filter sterilized L + A and S + S mixed in a ratio of 1:9, 5:5, or 9:1 (v/v). Bars show average ± SD of six replicates. Different letters indicate significant (p < 0.05) difference according to ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test
