Antifungal activity of Bacillus sp. isolated from compost

Folia Microbiol (Praha). 2000;45(6):552-4. doi: 10.1007/BF02818725.

Abstract

Four strains of Bacillus isolated from lupine compost exhibited an antifungal activity against six plant fungal pathogens (Rhizoctonia solani, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Trichothecium roseum, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum). It was significantly influenced by the composition of the cultivation media.
