Experimental materials and design.
(A) Fruiting bodies of PM at the sampling site. (B) Co-culture experiment with PM and bacteria. Control: PM not paired with any bacteria, Negative effect of bacteria: PM paired with Mycetocola lacteus, Positive effect of bacteria: PM paired with Dietzia aurantiaca.
Table 1.
Enzyme activity of bacteria and molds isolated from the fruiting body of PM.
Fig 2.
Bacterial diversity isolated from the fruiting body of PM.
(A) Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA sequences using neighbor-joining method with 1000 bootstrap replicates. (B) Relative abundance of bacterial species in different parts of the fruiting body.
Fig 3.
Effect of bacteria on the growth of PM.
(A) Mycelial growth of PM co-cultured with bacterial species. Pairwise t-test (one-tailed) was conducted to compare between growth promotion in co-culture and control. Significance of test was corrected by the false discovery rate of Benjamini and Hochberg. (B) Composition of bacterial effect in each part of the fruiting body.
Fig 4.
Heatmap plot for growth change of molds co-cultured with bacteria isolated from the fruiting body of PM.
Growth change is represented as color with significance detected by a pairwise t-test. The bacterial names in blue color represent growth-promoting bacteria. bGroup1: bacterial group showing a wide range of antifungal activity, bGroup2: bacterial group with a narrow range of influence, mGroup1: generally suppressed mold group, mGroup2: specifically influenced mold group.
