Additional file 1: of Escovopsioides as a fungal antagonist of the fungus cultivated by leafcutter ants

Table S1. Sequences used in the phylogenetic analyses and their associated metadata. Figure S1. Fungus gardens of Atta sexdens rubropilosa after 10 days of treatment with fungal spores. Fungus gardens were sampled from a mature colony and left in Petri dishes without any ants. (A) Garden not sprayed with spores (control); (B) Garden overgrown by Escovopsioides nivea LESF 603; (C) Healthy garden after treatment with spores of Escovopsioides sp. LESF 602 and (D) Garden overgrown by Escovopsis sp. LESF 19. Figure S2. Criteria used to designate health conditions of fungus garden in the bioassays using fungus gardens of Atta sexdens rubropilosa. (A) healthy garden; (B) garden in process of deterioration and (C) dead garden after 10 days of experiment. (DOCX 1760 kb
