A Delftia sp. DT-2 was co-cultured with Bacillus sp. BP-3, Bacillus sp. BT-39, Paenarthrobacter sp. PN-5, or Chryseobacterium sp. CT-33 on ST10–1 agar plates with or without 10 μM MAs(V). B DT-2, BP-3, and a third strain (BT-39, PN-5, or CT-33) were co-cultured in liquid medium with or without 5.0 µM MAs(V). The control groups were treatments without MAs(V). The data are presented as the mean ± standard error (n = 3).
