From: Polyvinyl alcohol coating releasing fungal blastospores improves kill effect of attract-and-kill beads

Fig. 4

The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coating increased the conidia concentration on attract-and-kill (AK) beads compared to control AK beads. AK beads were coated either with PVA 4-88/PEG/Lec or water as control and subsequently dried. Beads were cultivated on 1.5% water agar in sealed Petri dishes at 23 °C in the dark for 3 weeks. Formed conidia were washed from the beads and the concentration determined by cell counting. Asterisks indicate significant differences between coated AK beads and control beads at the given time point according to t-test (n = 15)
