Evaluation of Antifungal Efficacy of Three New Cyclic Lipopeptides of the Class Bacillomycin from Bacillus subtilis RLID 12.1.

New lipopeptide homologues (AF, AF, and AF) with antifungal activities against and spp. were purified from a cell-free supernatant of RLID 12.1.

Established and abandoned tea (Camillia sinensis L.) rhizosphere: dominant bacteria and their antagonism.

Some parts of the Indian Himalayan region are covered by established and abandoned tea bushes. Rhizospheric soils of these plants were studied for bacterial dominance and antagonism. Representatives of Bacillus and Pseudomonas genera were found to dominate the rhizosphere of established and abandoned tea bushes, respectively.
