Schematic overview of the setup of the antagonism assay. The dual-culture antagonism assay tests the inhibitory effect of the root fungal endophyte on the pathogen, Heterobasidion parviporum; the inhibitory effect is reflected in spherical index (α/β) of the respective organisms. Solitary cultures of the respective root endophyte and the pathogen were also plated—and observed—as controls in this experiment.
