Effect of live P. fulva SB1 treatment on mycelium pellets of Shiraia sp. S9. A Morphology of the pellets at different cultivation time (2, 4, 6 and 8 days) (×80). B Time profiles of average pellet diameters during the culture. Pellet diameters were measured in triplicates (50 pellets per replicate). The procedure of fungal–bacterial co-cultures was the same as specified in Fig. 2. The arrow represents the time of addition of live SB1. Values are mean ± SD from three independent experiments. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 versus control
