Candicidin Isomer Production Is Essential for Biocontrol of Cucumber Rhizoctonia Rot by Streptomyces albidoflavus W68
22 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
This study reports that candicidin-like secondary metabolites produced by microbial cells in natural soil environments can effectively control soilborne fungal diseases, revealing a novel mechanism of microbial biocontrol agents. We demonstrated that the main antifungal activity and biocontrol activity of Streptomyces albidoflavus strain W68 are attributable to the production of candicidin isomers, suggesting...
