e1“The isolated NKG50 genome was completely sequenced and identified as Bacillus velezensis NKG50”
e0“Our best candidate was the NKG50 isolate, which inhibited A . rabiei growth by more than 85% in the dual culture test of the bacterium versus the fungus, more than 65% by cell‐free supernatants, and inhibited conidial germination by 90%.”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect NKG50 inhibited A. rabiei mycelial growth by more than 85% in dual culture.
- Intervention effect NKG50 cell-free supernatants inhibited A. rabiei growth by more than 65%.
- Intervention effect NKG50 inhibited A. rabiei conidial germination by 90%.
- Intervention effect NKG50 significantly reduced disease severity in chickpea leaflet assays.
- Intervention effect NKG50 significantly reduced disease severity in whole-plant assays.
- Observation The NKG50 genome contained 13 secondary-metabolite gene clusters.
- Observation Five of the identified clusters had unknown function or nature.
- Recommendation The authors identified NKG50 as a potential chickpea Ascochyta blight biocontrol agent in Argentina.
