Antifungal activity of Trichosporon asahii.
Evidence of growth inhibition of the strain T. asahii (BR2.9) (on the top and bottom right of each plate) against the susceptible strains (A) Candida glabrata (NEQAS 8706) and (B) Candida lusitaniae (NEQAS 6208). Inhibition halo of the KT-producing positive control WaF17.12 (Wickerhamomyces anomalus) is shown on the top left of each plate. No growth inhibition was produced by WaUM3 (a strain not producing toxins) (on the bottom left of each plate).

Non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis.
NMDS of the fungal community structure of the five groups using the Bray-Curtis distance. Open black circles indicate the single organism while red crosses represent the identified OTUs. Blue lines connect the individual mycobiotas to the centroid values of each group.

Taxonomic composition of the mycobiota of BSF larvae.
Histogram represents the fungal diversity at class and genus level (upper and lower bars, respectively). The average abundance of each group is shown; only the fungal genera/classes with an average abundance >1% are reported, those with an abundance lower than 1% are classified as other classes/genera.
