In vitro inhibition of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and other phytopathogenic fungi by an Amazonian isolate of Bacillus subtilis and its cell-free culture filtrate
Australasian Plant Pathology 23 (2), 41-45
Abstract: An isolate of B. subtilis from the phylloplane of the forage legume Stylosanthes guianensis in the Amazon of Peru, exhibited an antifungal activity against a wide range of plant pathogenic fungi from various hosts. Mycelial growth, conidial germination and conidial production by C. gloeosporioides [Glomerella cingulata] were significantly reduced in the presence of cells of B. subtilis or its cell-free culture filtrate. The effect of the cell-free culture filtrate was often comparable with or better than benomyl (530 micro g/ml) in inhibiting fungal growth.
