Effectiveness and molecular characterization of Burkholderia spinosa, a prospective biocontrol agent for controlling postharvest diseases of banana

2008-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Prospective antagonists for controlling Colletotrichum musae were isolated from the fructosphere of a range of dessert and cooking type banana varieties grown in Sri Lanka. Out of the isolated microorganisms, 44 bacterial and 31 fungal isolates showed more than 50% C. musae colony growth inhibition in vitro. Among 32 bacterial isolates which showed inhibition zones against C. musae under in vitro conditions, four...
