e0“The interaction of Fusarium roseum var. sambucinum, the causal agent of potato dry rot, with two antagonistic bacteria, Bacillus cereus X16 and B. thuringiensis 55T, was studied on wounded potato tubers”
e1“Application of B. cereus X16 or B. thuringiensis 55T to potato wounds before challenge with the pathogen suppressed dry rot and restricted fungal growth in plant tissues to the first few cell layers beneath the site of inoculation”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Application of B. thuringiensis 55T to potato wounds before pathogen challenge suppressed dry rot.
- Observation B. cereus X16 penetrated potato tissues and established itself by intercellular and intracellular proliferation.
- Observation B. thuringiensis 55T penetrated potato tissues and established itself by intercellular and intracellular proliferation.
- Intervention effect Fusarium colonization was appreciably reduced in potato tubers bacterized by the antagonists.
- Mechanism Direct parasitism by B. thuringiensis 55T seemed to play a key role in antagonism against Fusarium hyphae.
- Observation In potato tubers bacterized by B. thuringiensis 55T, Fusarium invasion did not stimulate structural host reactions.
- Observation In potato tubers inoculated with B. cereus X16 and challenged with the pathogen, a set of defense reactions was triggered.
- Mechanism Fungal hyphae near the barriers in B. cereus-treated tubers showed advanced disorganization, suggesting a fungitoxic environment with phenol-like compounds.
- Mechanism The two antagonistic bacilli use different biocontrol strategies to suppress Fusarium dry rot development.
