Antifungal Compounds of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and Its Action Mode

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Plant Growth and Health Promoting Bacteria

Part of the book series: Microbiology Monographs ((MICROMONO,volume 18))

Abstract

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are bacteria that colonize plant roots and then promote plant growth and/or reduce disease or insect damage via exudation of some active metabolites. Antagonistic PGPR have attracted much attention in their role in reducing plant diseases, especially strains of the genus Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Burkholdeira, and there is now an increasing number of PGPR being commercialized for crops. In this chapter, we present three major antagonistic PGPR (Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Burkholdeira spp.) and their antifungal metabolites including the chemical structure first, and then introducing the mode of action and biosynthesis pathway of these antifungals.
