Abstract

In vitro interaction between Verticillium chlamydosporium (Goddard) andbacteria or fungi was studied at 20 °Cand 15 °C. The frequency of antagonismwas lower at 15 °C for the bacteria, butnot for the fungi. Interaction was affected bytemperature for 33% of the bacteria and 47%of the fungi.
