Antifungal potential of Azotobacter species and its metabolites against Fusarium verticillioides and biodegradation of fumonisin.

Aims: In the study, seven Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) Azotobacter species were screened against three strains of Fusarium verticillioides to test its antifungal activity. Azotobacter strains were tested for the degradation of fumonisin produced by F. verticillioides.
