Isolation and Characterization of Antagonistic Bacteria Paenibacillus jamilae HS-26 and Their Effects on Plant Growth

Table 1

Antibiotic capacity of Paenibacillus polymyxa strain HS-26 against plant pathogenic fungi in vitro.

Fungal isolates	Antagonistic effect (zone of inhibition diameter [mm])
Fusarium oxysporum	1.1 ± 0.0
Botryosphaeria ribis	6.2 ± 0.0
Bipolaris sorokiniana	3.9 ± 0.2
Botryosphaeria dothidea	3.1 ± 0.3
Rhizoctonia solani	0 ± 0
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides	4.2 ± 0.1
Alternaria (Nees)	3.0 ± 0.1
Fusarium pseudograminearum	Ineffective

Notes: values are means ± SD. “Ineffective” indicates that the HS-26 strain has no ability to inhibit the growth of phytopathogens; “0” indicates that the HS-26 strain has the ability to inhibit the growth of phytopathogens to some extent; however, it failed to form an obvious zone of inhibition.
