Pyricularia oryzae promotes the growth of Streptomyces griseus independent of direct contact (IMAGE)
Caption
The growth of S. griseus was promoted by coculturing with P. oryzae, but not by culturing alone. A culture plate supplemented with phenol red indicated that P. oryzae increased the pH of the surrounding area, which, in turn, promoted S. griseus growth, suggesting that the P. oryzae-produced alkaline compounds stimulated growth.
