Fig. 3

A Average tendril radiation toward (proximal) or away (distal) stimulus source (n = 5). B Representative photographs of the chemotactic behavior of M. vaginatus. Control consists of BG11 medium containing no exudates. Black arrow indicates M. vaginatus tendrils sweeping away from cellulose disk soaked in P. solicrustae spent growth medium. Scale bar is 5 mm. Given that the original data were normally distributed, significance of the comparisons is based on t test.
