Evaluation of the Antifungal Activity of Bacillusamyloliquefaciens and B. velezensis and Characterization of the Bioactive Secondary Metabolites Produced against Plant Pathogenic Fungi.

ABSTRACT: Endophytic bacteria are plant-beneficial bacteria with a broad host range. They provide numerous benefits to their hosts, helping them tolerate several biotic and abiotic stresses. An interest has recently been developed in endophytic bacteria which are producing bioactive compounds that contribute to the biological control of various phytopathogens. This research paper aimed to investigate the potentiality of new local strains of endophytic bacteria such as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and B. velezensis and the production of several antimicrobial metabolites associated with the biocontrol of Alternaria sp., which cause serious diseases and affect important vegetable crops in Egypt. Twenty-five endophytic bacteria isolates were obtained from different plants cultivated i
