Genomic and Chemical Diversity of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Bacillus subtilis</named-content> Secondary Metabolites against Plant Pathogenic Fungi
ABSTRACT Bacillus subtilis produces a wide range of secondary metabolites providing diverse plant growth-promoting and biocontrol abilities. These secondary metabolites include nonribosomal peptides with strong antimicrobial properties, causing either cell lysis, pore formation in fungal membranes,...
