Are cyclic lipopeptides produced by <i>Bacillus amyloliquefaciens </i>S13-3 responsible for the plant defence response in strawberry against <i>Colletotrichum gloeosporioides</i>?

Abstract

This study tries to determine whether biocontrol of phytopathogens by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens in strawberry can be connected to induced plant resistance. The results suggested that the antagonistic strain B. amyloliquefaciens S13-3 confers resistance to strawberry through the production of lipopeptide antibiotics.
