Abstract
The metabolites of Bacillus subtilis CCIBP-M27 were evaluated as an antagonist of Pseudocercospora fijiensis. The culture filtrate did not inhibit ascospore germination but significantly reduced conidial germination and mycelial growth. Through microscopic analysis, deformations were observed as vacuolization and swelling in P. fijiensis mycelia when exposed to culture filtrate during 48 h. A similar response was induced by peptide-type compounds found on Bacillus subtilis CCIBP-M27 culture filtrate. The results obtained suggest that the in vitro antifungal effect of the strain CCIBP-M27 against P. fijiensis is related to the action of diffused metabolites such as proteins or peptide substances.Entities:
