Mycoparasitic interactions and self-confrontations of T. atroviride wild type in comparison to its ∆pks1 mutant. (A) The mycoparasitic behavior of T. atroviride wild type (WT) and the ∆pks1A mutant against B. cinerea (xBc) and R. solani (xRs) was assessed after 3 (D3), 7 (D7), and 11 days (D11) of incubation on PDA under reduced light conditions. On each plate, the T. atroviride WT or mutant is inoculated on the bottom and the host fungus on the top. (B) Self-confrontations of the WT (xWT) and the ∆pks1 mutant (x∆pks1A), as well as confrontations between WT (bottom) and ∆pks1 mutant (top) were assessed after 3 (D3), 7 (D7), and 11 days (D11) of incubation on PDA under reduced light conditions. A representative image out of three biological replicates (n = 3) is shown
