The Wheat Head Blight Pathogen <i>Fusarium graminearum</i> Can Recruit Collaborating Bacteria from Soil

In nature, fungal endophytes often have facultative endohyphal bacteria (FEB). Can a model plant pathogenic fungus have them, and does it affect their phenotype? We constructed a growth system/microcosm to allow an <i>F. graminearum</i> isolate to grow through natural soil and then re-is...
