Isolation and characterization ofBacillus subtilisKS1 for the biocontrol of grapevine fungal diseases

Biocontrol of Lasiodiplodia theobromae, which causes black spot disease of harvested wax apple fruit, using a strain of Brevibacillus brevis FJAT-0809-GLX

“…This finding suggests that B. brevis could inhibit the pathogens because some antibiotic production accumulated in the culture medium. This result agrees with that reported from other antagonists, such as B. amyloliquefaciens (Alvarez et al, 2012;Mochizuki et al, 2012) and B. subtilis (Furuya et al, 2011;Li et al, 2012;Y anez-Mendiz abal et al, 2012). The in vivo test indicates that the culture filtrate of B. brevis was most effective.…”

“…Many biocontrol bacteria, such as Bacillus cereus (Liu et al, 2004), Bacillus subtilis (Furuya et al, 2011;Li et al, 2012;Y anez-Mendiz abal et al, 2012), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (Alvarez et al, 2012;Mochizuki et al, 2012) and Bacillus pumilus (Huang et al, 2012), have been studied for their use in the treatment and prevention of a wide range of diseases. Brevibacillus brevis (formerly Bacillus brevis) is a novel candidate biocontrol agent with broad-spectrum antifungal activity that controls grey mould (Botrytis cinerea) in vitro and in vivo on tomato and lettuce (Seddon et al, 2000).…”

Identification of ethylparaben as the antimicrobial substance produced by Brevibacillus brevis FJAT-0809-GLX

“…Biological control agents have been shown to be as effective as chemical fungicides in controlling plant disease under certain circumstances (White et al 2001). Many biocontrol bacteria, for example, Bacillus cereus (Liu et al 2004), B. brevis (Sachin et al 2006;Chandel et al 2010;Murray et al 1986), Bacillus subtilis (Furuya et al 2011;Li et al 2012;Yánez-Mendizábal et al 2012), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (Mochizuki et al 2012;Alvarez et al 2012) and Bacillus pumilus (Huang et al 2012), have been studied for use in the treatment and prevention of a wide range of diseases.…”

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Tomato-Associated Rhizobacteria Applied Singly or as Three-Strain Consortium for Biosuppression of Sclerotinia Stem Rot in Tomato

“…Mechanisms of action displayed by rhizobacteria during plant diseases control include mainly the release of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity [30], induced plant resistance [31] and growth promotion [32]. In the present study, seedling bacterization with B. thuringiensis B2, B. subtilis B10, and E. cloacae B16 and the three-strain consortium lowered disease severity on S. sclerotioruminoculated and treated plants.…”
