Compatible Consortium of Endophytic Strains Cal.l.30 and Cal.f.4 Promotes Plant Growth and Induces Systemic Resistance against .

Evaluating microbial-based alternatives to conventional fungicides and biofertilizers enables us to gain a deeper understanding of the biocontrol and plant growth-promoting activities. Two genetically distinct strains (Cal.l.

-A Great Source of Plant Growth Promoting Endophytic Bacteria (PGPEB) and Biological Control Agents (BCA).

The application of beneficial bacteria may present an alternative approach to chemical plant protection and fertilization products as they enhance growth and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Plant growth-promoting bacteria are found in the rhizosphere, epiphytically or endophytically (Plant Growth Promoting Endophytic Bacteria, PGPEB). In the present study, 36 out of 119 isolated endophytic bacterial strains from roots, leaves and flowers of the pharmaceutical plant were further identified and classified into , , , and genera.

Genomic Analysis and Secondary Metabolites Production of the Endophytic Bvel1: A Biocontrol Agent against Causing Bunch Rot in Post-Harvest Table Grapes.

Botrytis bunch rot caused by is one of the most economically significant post-harvest diseases of grapes. In the present study, we showed that the bacterial strain Bvel1 is phylogenetically affiliated to species. The strain Bvel1 and its secreted metabolites exerted an antifungal activity, under in vitro conditions, against .
