A Streptomyces sp. strain: Isolation, identification, and potential as a biocontrol agent against soilborne diseases of tomato plants

Continuous cropping of tomato plants leads to the prevalence of soilborne diseases, such as Fusarium wilt and bacterial wilt. Actinobacteria are gaining interest in agriculture as biological control agents (BCAs). In this study, we isolated an actinomycete strain, FJAT-31547, from the rhizosphere soil of a healthy tomato plant in a serious soilborne diseased field. The strain FJAT-31547 exhibited broad-spectrum antifungal and antibacterial...
