Characterization of an Endophytic Antagonistic Bacterial Strain Bacillus halotolerans LBG-1-13 with Multiple Plant Growth-Promoting Traits, Stress Tolerance, and Its Effects on Lily Growth

Figure 1

Antagonistic activity of the endophytic bacterial strain LBG-1-13 against three fungal pathogens. A fungus plug was inoculated into the center of the potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium surrounded by four spots of bacterial inoculum. Plates (A1), (B1), and (C1) are controls of Botrytis cinerea (ACCC 36423), Botryosphaeria dothidea (ACCC 37263), and Fusarium oxysporum (ACCC 37279), respectively. Plates (A2), (B2), and (C2) contain dual cultures of strain LBG-1-13 and the corresponding fungal pathogens.
