Identification of Collimonas gene loci involved in the biosynthesis of a diffusible secondary metabolite with broad‐spectrum antifungal activity and plant‐protective properties

Summary In greenhouse and field trials, a bacterial mixture of Collimonas arenae Cal35 and Bacillus velezensis FZB42, but not Cal35 alone or FZB42 alone, was able to protect tomato plants from challenge with the soilborne fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (Fol). To identify genes...
