Probiotic rhizospheric Bacillus sp. from Zingiber officinale Rosc. displays antifungal activity against soft rot pathogen Pythium sp.

The bioactivity spectrum of antagonistic rhizobacteria isolated from Zingiber officinale was analyzed against the phytopathogen Pythium myriotylum, which causes Pythium rot in ginger. One of the isolates ZoRC2 showed broad bioactivity against P. myriotylum. By molecular identification, the rhizobact...
