Characterising the proteomic response of mushroom pathogen Lecanicillium fungicola to Bacillus velezensis QST 713 and Kos biocontrol agents.

ABSTRACT: The fungal pathogen Lecanicillium fungicola causes dry bubble disease in Agaricus bisporus cultivation and affected mushrooms significantly reduce the yield and revenue for mushroom growers. Biocontrol agents may represent an alternative and more environmentally friendly treatment option to help control dry bubble on mushroom farms. Serenade ® is a commercially available biocontrol product used for disease treatment in plant crops. In this work, the in vitro response of L. fungicola to the bacterial strain active in Serenade, Bacillus velezensis (QST 713) and a newly isolated B. velezensis strain (Kos) was assessed. B. velezensis (QST713 and Kos) both produced zones of inhibition on plate cultures of L. fungicola, reduced the mycelium growth
