Figure 1

Attachment of bacterial strains to J2 of Meloidogyne hapla. Bacterial strains originating from the surface of M. hapla J2 were incubated overnight with J2 and the number of attached CFU was determined by plating of J2 on agar media. Genera of bacterial strains: Microbacterium (K6, i.10, i.20, i.44, i.47), Sphingopyxis (BS1-2, G11), Brevundimonas (BS1-7, S5-5), Acinetobacter (E1, S10-12), Micrococcus (K5), Staphylococcus (K1), Kocuria (G1). E. coli EK5-23 served as a negative control for unspecific attachment, as this strain was not isolated from nematodes. Stars indicate significant differences to the control (Dunnett test, n = 3). Error bars represent standard deviations of log-transformed CFU counts.
