Positive control: A. parasiticus IMI 242695 (10 μL at 10⁶ spores/mL) incubated for seven days at 30°C in semisolid malt agar (a). Group 1, live antagonistic cells (10 μL 10⁸ cells/mL) incubated for seven days at 30°C. L. delbrueckii × overlapping culture (10 μL 10⁶ spores/mL of A. parasiticus IMI 242695) (b); S. boulardii × overlapping culture (c); S. cerevisiae strain UFMG 905 × overlapping culture (d). Group 2, antagonistic cells inactivated by chloroform vapors (10 μL a 10⁸ cells/mL) incubated for seven days at 30°C. L. delbrueckii × overlapping culture (10 μL 10⁶ spores/mL of A. parasiticus IMI 242695) (e); S. boulardii × overlapping culture (f); S. cerevisiae strain UFMG 905 × overlapping culture (g).
