Bacterial lawns from CHA0, Pf-5 and their LPS mutant derivatives were challenged with phage(-related) particles (i.e., tailocins and/or temperate phages) extracted from P. protegens and P. chlororaphis subgroups strains. Sensitivity is demonstrated by the circles colored from grey (resistant) to red (sensitive). The level of sensitivity (0–6) was determined by serially diluting the phage(-related) particle extract at a ratio of 1:4 at each dilution step. A level of sensitivity of six indicates that the strain was sensitive to the extract diluted to 1/4096.
