At that
time, sporulation is still scarce but further rapidly increases
with time, confirming that DON production is correlated
with conidia production (Calvo et al., 2002). Our data also
indicate that the activity of T. gamsii directly reduces the
biomass of the pathogen (and consequently the amount of
DON) and that its presence does not stimulate the pathogen
to overproduce the mycotoxin.
