From: The fungus-growing termite Macrotermes natalensis harbors bacillaene-producing Bacillus sp. that inhibit potentially antagonistic fungi

Figure 2

(a) The chemical structure of bacillaene A (1). (b) Petri plate antifungal activity assay setup, showing the placement of three concentrations (10 μL, 20 μL, 50 μL) of 1 (10 mg/mL) dissolved in DMSO, the control (DMSO only, 10 μL) and the placement of the fungal inoculum. (c) Representative image examples of bacillaene A activity against Pseudoxylaria 10 days after inoculation, Trichoderma sp. 3 days after inoculation, Fusarium sp. 3 days after inoculation, Coriolopsis sp. 5 days after inoculation, Umbelopsis sp. 7 days after inoculation and Termitomyces 20 days after inoculation in addition to qualitative indications of the presence/absence (+/−) of inhibition at concentrations 10 μL, 20 μL and 50 μL of 1 (10 mg/mL) for the five contaminant fungi as well as Termitomyces.
