Biological Control and Growth-Promoting Activities of Burkholderia vietnamiensis FBCC-B8049 Isolated from Freshwater.

ABSTRACT: Colletotrichum and Fusarium are globally important plant-pathogenic fungi that cause serious diseases in chili pepper and other crops, leading to substantial yield losses due to their broad host range, environmental persistence, and the limited effectiveness of chemical control, thereby highlighting the need for sustainable alternatives such as biological control. We investigate the biological control and plant growth-promoting potential of Burkholderia vietnamiensis FBCC-B8049, isolated from freshwater environments. The strain exhibited significant antifungal activity against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Colletotrichum acutatum, and Fusarium oxysporum in dual-culture assays, with stronger effects against Colletotrichum species. The inhibition was likely due to direct antagonism and vol
