MBE02 alters growth and pathogenicity of Aspergillus species. Plate assays show inhibitory effect of MBE02 on A. niger (a) and A. flavus (b). Spore suspension of fungi (106 spores/ml) were spreaded throughout the plate and inoculated with 5 µl of MBE02 (O.D. 0.6) followed by incubation at 25 ± 2 °C. The zone of inhibition was recorded for A. niger after 72 h of incubation. Representative pictures are shown here and experiment was replicated with similar results. (c,d) Time course analysis of fungal growth in presence of MBE02. A. niger and A. flavus were grown in DYGS medium and after 12 h, 1 µl of MBE02 (O.D. 0.6) was added. The fungal mycelia were harvested at the indicated time points after bacteria inoculations and weighed. Data are means ± SE (n = 3) and combined from three independent experiments. (e) Gene expression analysis of Ppo genes in A. flavus after treatment with MBE02. Data are means ± SE (n = 3-4). Asterisk (*) shows significant statistical difference calculated by t test (p < 0.05).
