Relationship between cell wall β-1,6-glucan contents and predatory behavior of strain EGB. a, b SEM analysis of the cell morphology. Strain EGB was co-cultured with N. crassa or M. restricta, and the cell morphologies of the fungi were observed. Representative SEM images are shown; scale bars: 2 μm. The dashed arrow indicates the contact site of strain EGB with M. restricta or N. crassa. c DIC images of the fungal cells. Representative DIC micrographs are shown; scale bars: 10 μm. d Survival rates of N. crassa spores and M. restricta cells after GluM treatments (3 U/mL). The quantitative data represent the means of three biological replicates. Error bars denote st. dev. (SD), and values with different letters indicate statistically significant differences (p < 0.01)
