(a) Virulence and maceration of monocultures and co-cultures of strains B34 and B38 and the pathogens D. solani, P. atrosepticum and P. carotovorum on potato slices. Sterile water was used as a negative control. (b) Percentage of maceration area on potato slices. Groups represent inoculation with the corresponding pathogen (D. solani, P. atrosepticum and P. carotovorum) and co-cultures of strains B34 and B38 and the pathogens. Controls are no represented as no maceration was observed. Data are means ± SD of three independent experiments performed on four potato slices. Different letters above the bars indicate statistically differences according to Tukey’s test (p < 0.05).
