a. Bacterial fungal co-culture on solid medium showing bacterial spreading over the in the fungal culture. b. Bacterial fungal co-culture (after 48 h of inoculation) separated from each other by removing the culture medium along the diameter of the plate. c. Bacterial fungal co-culture (agar removed) after 72 h of inoculation. d. Closer view of the plate shown in c; e. Stereo microscopic observation of the hyphae showing bacterial migration after 48 h of inoculation; f. Stereo microscopic observation of the hyphae showing bacterial migration after 72 h of inoculation.
