Screening of rhizosphere soil bacteria for biocontrol of Lasiodiplodia theobromae

MALDI mass spectrometry-based identification of antifungal molecules from endophytic Bacillus strains with biocontrol potential of Lasiodiplodia theobromae, a grapevine trunk pathogen in Peru

“…Therefore, many efforts have led to the search for microorganisms from different sources (soil, rhizosphere, compost, plants, etc.) to be used as biocontrol alternatives ( Compant et al., 2013 ; Sajitha et al., 2014 ; Kamil et al., 2018 ; Chukeatirote et al., 2018 ; Bustamante et al., 2022 ).…”

“…Some researchers have joined efforts to reveal the potential of endophytic bacteria and their bioactive compounds through dual culture studies. These methods have made it possible to evaluate the inhibition of different grapevine fungal pathogens (including Lasiodiplodia ) and the results have been promising ( Alfonzo et al., 2012 ; Piccolo et al., 2016 ; Rezgui et al., 2016 ; Chukeatirote et al., 2018 ; Bustamante et al., 2022 ). However, the traditional dual culture methods are only based on the simple observation of mycelial growth inhibition and spore germination ( Kerr, 1999 ; Shehata et al., 2016 ).…”
