Fig. 5. Effects of PA and R. mucilaginosa on natural decay development of strawberries.
Control ¼ sterile distilled water, PA ¼ PA at the concentration of 4 mmol/ml,
Antagonist ¼ R. mucilaginosa (1 108 cells/ml), Antagonist þ PA ¼ R. mucilaginosa
(1 108 cells/ml) þ PA at the concentration of 4 mmol/ml. Each value is the mean of
three experiments. Bars represent standard deviations. Different letter indicates
significant differences (p ¼ 0.05) according to the Duncan’s multiple range test.
