Characterization ofantifungal properties of lipopeptide-producing Bacillus velezensis strains and their proteome-based response to the phytopathogens, Diaporthe spp
Introduction:B.velezensis strains are of interest in agricultural applications due to their beneficial interactions with plants, notable through their antimicrobial activity.The biocontrol ability of two new lipopeptides-producing B.velezensis strains ES1-02 and EFSO2-04, against fungal phytopathogens of Diaporthe spp., was evaluated and compared w
