Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus lipopeptides: versatile weapons for plant disease biocontrol.
Marc Ongena,Philippe Jacques +1 more
TL;DR: The different structural traits and physico-chemical properties of these effective surface- and membrane-active amphiphilic biomolecules explain their involvement in most of the mechanisms developed by bacteria for the biocontrol of different plant pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural functions of lipopeptides from Bacillus and Pseudomonas: more than surfactants and antibiotics
TL;DR: This review gives a detailed overview of the versatile functions of lipopeptides in the biology of Pseudomonas and Bacillus species, and highlights their role in competitive interactions with coexisting organisms, including bacteria, fungi, oomycetes, protozoa, nematodes and plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surfactin and fengycin lipopeptides of Bacillus subtilis as elicitors of induced systemic resistance in plants
Marc Ongena,Emmanuel Jourdan,A. Adam,Michel Paquot,Alain Brans,Bernard Joris,Jean-Louis Arpigny,Philippe Thonart +7 more
TL;DR: Experiments conducted on bean and tomato plants showed that overexpression of both surfactin and fengycin biosynthetic genes in the naturally poor producer Bacillus subtilis strain 168 was associated with a significant increase in the potential of the derivatives to induce resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mycosubtilin overproduction by Bacillus subtilis BBG100 enhances the organism's antagonistic and biocontrol activities.
Valérie Leclère,Max Béchet,Akram Adam,J.S. Guez,Bernard Wathelet,Marc Ongena,Philippe Thonart,Frédérique Gancel,M. Chollet-Imbert,Philippe Jacques +9 more
TL;DR: A recombinant strain of Bacillus subtilis derivative was obtained from strain ATCC 6633 by replacement of the native promoter of the mycosubtilin operon by a constitutive promoter originating from the replication gene repU of the Staphylococcus aureus plasmid pUB110.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens GA1 as a source of potent antibiotics and other secondary metabolites for biocontrol of plant pathogens
Anthony Arguelles-Arias,Marc Ongena,Badre Halimi,Yannick Lara,Alain Brans,Bernard Joris,Patrick Fickers +6 more
TL;DR: The production of all of these antibiotic compounds highlights B. amyloliquefaciens GA1 as a good candidate for the development of biocontrol agents.
