Antifungal action and induction of resistance by Bacillus sp. strain YYC 155 against Colletotrichum fructicola for control of anthracnose disease in Camellia oleifera.

ABSTRACT: Anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum fructicola is a serious disease that can afflict Camellia oleifera. Biological control is a rapidly growing approach for the management of plant diseases. In this study, we investigated the bio-control efficiency and the defense responses of an endophytic Bacillus tequilensis strain YYC 155, which was isolated from the root nodules of the Crotalaria pallida against anthracnose disease, caused by C. fructicola in C. oleifera. B. tequilensis YYC 155 exhibited significant inhibitory activity against anthracnose disease, caused by C. fructicola in C. oleifera. YYC 155 can secrete extracellular hydrolases, such as chitinase and β-1, 3-glucanase, which produce lipopeptides that are antimicrobial
