a GFP-tagged Foc TR4 cultured in PDB for 36 h and photographed. b The supernatant of S. morookaensis strain Sm4-1986 inhibits growth of Foc TR4. Strain Sm4-1986 was cultured in PDB for 10 days, and the supernatant of culture was collected and added to PDB (1:1, v/v), in which GFP-tagged Foc TR4 was cultured for 36 h and photographed. c Structure of xerucitrinin A. d Structure of 6-pentyl-α-pyrone. e Xerucitrinin A chelates iron assayed by Chrome Azurol Sulphonate (CAS). There is yellow zone around the Oxford cup in the center of the plate, indicating the iron-chelating ability. f 6-PP suppresses propagation of Foc TR4. Foc TR4 and 0.96 mM 6-PP-treated Foc TR4 were cultured in PDB, respectively, and the optical densities of the culture solution were monitored at the indicated time-points. Mean of triplicate and standard deviation were shown. g 6-PP treatment significantly reduces the number of Foc TR4 spores and completely inhibits Foc TR4 spore germination. Spores were counted using a Malassez hemocytometer at 24 h of cultivation. Mean of triplicate and standard deviation was shown. Scare bars in (a), and (b), 5 μm.
