Поиск и выделение новых штаммов бактерий-антагонистов фитопатогенных микромицетов рода Fusarium

Abstract

In present work, the isolation of bacteria from soil was performed with the idea of using these strains as biological agents in the integrated management of potato dry rot. Majority of bacterial isolates were identified as members of genus Bacillus. The strongest antifungal activity has been observed for B. subtilis (5 strains), B. weihenstephanensis and A. сalcoaceticus. Strains of B. subtilis are the most promising due to their ability to produce endospores that help them survive in the soil during long periods.
