To identify genes specific to the pathogenic phase of Co. posadasii, we carried out a large-scale study of gene expression in two isolates of the species.
Using transplant experiments we demonstrated that increased light availability switched the endosymbiotic phase of the fungus to its pathogenic phase.
Stem borers were the cause of 73% of the total palm mortality after 50 days, while D. mutila (in its pathogenic phase) caused just 2% of the mortality.
After 150 days, stem borers induced 43% of mortality, while D. mutila (pathogenic phase) was responsible for a mere 0.1% of the mortality.
In the pathogenic phase, D. mutila forms pycnidia, flask-shaped asexual structures that exude masses of uni-cellular to bi-cellular, hyaline to brown conidia [35] (Fig. 5E).
Regardless of the precise explanation, it is apparent that D. mutila-colonized I. deltoidea seedlings survive better under closed canopy conditions due to the effect of light in triggering the pathogenic phase of the endophyte.

Genes with elevated expression in the pathogenic phases of both isolates included a number of genes that were involved in the response to environmental stress as well as in the metabolism of lipids.
OmpC may not be essential during either the symbiotic or pathogenic phases of P. luminescens.
The confined life cycle of P. luminescens, involving only endosymbiotic and pathogenic phases, perhaps precludes exposure to these stress conditions.
To discover genes that potentially contribute to virulence differences between strains, we compared the transcriptional profile of genes for the pathogenic phases of G186A and G217B.
These authors, as the result of their work, concluded that when sulfanilamide is implanted in a wound, the drug exerts a neutralizing effect on the toxins present, thus minimizing the amount of tissue breakdown, and that the drug converts bacteria into a static or non-pathogenic phase in which they do not invade the surrounding tissues and do not multiply.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
