Secretion of poly-γ-glutamic acid by Bacillus atrophaeus NX-12 enhanced its root colonization and biocontrol activity
Bacilli are used as biocontrol agents (BCAs) against phytopathogens and most of them can produce poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) as one of the major extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). However, the role of γ-PGA in plant biocontrol is still unclear. In this study, Bacillus atrophaeus NX-12 (γ-PG...
