FIG 3.

The suppressiveness of inoculated consortia for the disease incidence progression in tomato plant rhizosphere. (A) Progression of bacterial wilt plant disease in the absence (black line) and presence of inoculated consortia (teal line). Disease spread was fitted with the data using a logistic regression to obtain three variables describing the dynamics of disease: lag time before disease onset (early stage), the maximum rate of disease onset (intermediate stage), and fraction of wilted plants (late stage). (B to D) Siderophore production (left), the direct siderophore effect on the growth of pathogen (middle), and siderophore-mediated interactions within inoculated consortia (right) on the disease progression during different stages of infection. In all panels, each point refers to a defined combination of consortia members.
