In the context of biocontrol of plant diseases, the three families of Bacillus lipopeptides–
surfactins, iturins and fengycins were at first mostly studied for their antagonistic activity for a …

Bacillus species produce secondary metabolites that are the object of natural product
chemistry studies. The wide structural variability of these compounds has attracted the …

Some isolates of the B acillus subtilis/amyloliquefaciens species are known for their plant
protective activity against fungal phytopathogens. It is notably due to their genetic potential …

Multiple strains of Bacillus spp. were demonstrated to stimulate plant defence responses.
However, very little is known about the nature of molecular determinants secreted by these …

ABSTRACT A Bacillus subtilis derivative was obtained from strain ATCC 6633 by
replacement of the native promoter of the mycosubtilin operon by a constitutive promoter …

Abstract Aim: Test of Bacillus subtilis strain GA1 for its potential to control grey mould
disease of apple caused by Botrytis cinerea. Methods and Results: GA1 was first tested for …

In this work, the potential of Bacillus subtilis strain M4 at protecting plants against fungal
diseases was demonstrated in different pathosystems. We provide evidence for the role of …

Some plant-associated Bacillus strains produce induced systemic resistance (ISR) in the
host, which contributes to their protective effect against phytopathogens. Little is known …

Isolated during 1950s and 1960s, the group of lipopeptides from Bacillus spp. gather more
than 30 different peptides linked to various fatty acid chains. More than a 100 different …

Lipopeptides produced by microorganisms are one of the five major classes of
biosurfactants known and they have received much attention from scientific and industrial …
