Metabolite and Mechanistic Basis of Antifungal Property Exhibited by Endophytic Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BmB 1.

Plants are ubiquitously colonized by endophytic microorganisms which contribute significantly to plant health through production of plant growth regulators or disease suppression. In the present study, an endophytic bacterial isolate designated as BmB 1 with significant antifungal and plant growth promoting properties was isolated from the stem tissue of Bacopa monnieri (L.) Pennell.
