Rhizosphere competence, antibiotic and siderophore biosynthesis in Pseudomonas chlororaphis: implications for the biological control of cotton seedling disease pathogens
Cotton seedling disease caused by Pythium ultimum Trow and Rhizoctonia solani Kühn occurs worldwide in soils ranging from pH 4.5 to 8.5. Studies with cotton have not yet established the relative importance of two classes of secondary metabolites synthesized by soilborne pseudomonads, siderophores (s...
