A recent study has revealed a novel feature of the symbiosis between a bacterium and a fungal pathogen. In addition to producing a pathogenic toxin, the endosymbiont of the rice pathogen Rhizopus microsporus controls the ability of the fungus to form sporangia and spores.
最近的一项研究揭示了一种细菌与真菌病原体共生关系的新特征。除了产生致病毒素外，水稻病原体微小根霉的内共生体还控制着真菌形成孢子囊和孢子的能力。
