Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation M. thiocyanatum (NBRC 103124) significantly inhibited all three Fusarium species tested by more than 30%.
- Observation M. aminovorans (LMG 21752) significantly inhibited all three Fusarium species tested by more than 30%.
- Observation Fusarium graminearum (UAMH 3329) was the most consistently suppressed of the tested pathogens.
- Observation Inhibitory activity of the 40 Methylobacterium isolates was highly variable and strain-dependent.
- Intervention effect Growth suppression was enhanced on nutrient-minimum agar amended with cell-free bacterial broth.
- Intervention effect Co-inoculated soybean seeds had lower disease severity scores (DSS).
- Intervention effect Co-inoculated soybean seeds had fewer necrotic lesions.
- Intervention effect Co-inoculated soybean seeds had reduced fungal colonization during germination and emergence.
