“…Therefore, many researchers dedicate to the study of antagonistic micro-organisms to control RsB. Many organisms had been reported as the potential biocontrol agents against RsB, such as Pseudomonas fluorescens (Nagarajkumar, Bhaskaran, & Velazhahan, 2004;Nandakumara, Babua, Viswanathanb, Raguchandera, & Samiyappana, 2001), Helminthosporium gramineum Rabenh (Duan et al, 2007) and Streptomyces (Prabavathy, Mathivanan, & Murugesan, 2006). Compared with other antagonistic bacteria, Paenibacillus species, as a group, have several advantages for protection against pathogens, including the broad-spectrum activity of their antibiotics and the ability to form endospores which facilitate long-term storage and commercialisation (Emmert & Handelsman, 1999).…”
