Another way to control this pathogen would be to eliminate its bacterial endosymbiont, without this endosymbiont the fungus is unable to sporulate. The bacteria has a type III secretion system that allows it to communicate with its fungal host, and without the bacterias' secretion system, the fungi could not produce spores. This bacterium is passed on vertically from fungus to fungus through the sporangia while these spores are germinating. Without the bacteria none of the reproductive structures can be created by the fungus.
