Abstract : In nineteen strains of antagonistic microorganisms studied, the strain X-98-2 showed the strongest suppression to growth of Glomerella glycines and Botryodiplodia theobromae [Lasiodiplodia theobromae] on mango. It also reduced the incidence of mango anthracnose [Glomerella cingulata] and stem-end disease, thus lengthening the storage life of mango and improving fruit quality. A preliminary identification showed that this strain was a Bacillus sp. Analysis with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry showed that aminoglycoside antibiotics were the key components in the fermentation extract of this strain.
