[Some properties of Bacillus subtilis strains active against rotting agents on strawberries and fruit].
This work was aimed at the study of biological and genetic peculiarities of the strains Bacillus subtilis 2/10 and 63z which were selected for protection of strawberries from Botrytis fructigena and for apples under storage. The obtained strains were shown to possess a broad spectrum of antagonistic activity against phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria and this activity was manifested at low temperatures specific for the agriculture production storage. These cultures were not toxigenic or pathogenic in respect of plants and hot-blooded. By RAPD-typing and sequencing of the cloned parts of DNA the genetic specificity of the selected cultures was shown compared with other Bacillus subtilis strains which had not been so active. A set of genetic primes was selected to allow one to reliably identify the given strains during production of biopreparations and to control their use in the field conditions.
