Antibiotics and Siderophore Producing Bacteria

  • Chapter
Rhizoctonia Species: Taxonomy, Molecular Biology, Ecology, Pathology and Disease Control

Abstract

Rhizobacteria are active in plant rhizospheres and a certain proportion of them are capable to defend the roots against attack by deleterious and pathogenic microorganisms naturally, or as introduced biocontrol agents. Strains of certain rhizobacteria isolated from roots exhibit beneficial activity by controlling soilborne diseases and by promoting plant growth (Schroth and Hancock, 1981; Rovira et al.,1992). Many strains of rhizobacteria which are effective in biocontrol have been reported to produce antibiotics, siderophores, bacteriocins and cyanide. The role of these secondary metabolites in biocontrol has been demonstrated (Weller, 1988; Fravel, 1988).
