Proteases from Bacillus: a new insight into the mechanism of action for rhizobacterial suppression of nematode populations
Abstract
AIMS: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of proteases in Bacillus spp. of rhizobacteria in suppressing nematode populations and to understand their mechanism of action.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Rhizobacteria with nematicidal activity were isolated from soil samples of five root knot nematode-infested farms. Among these strains, nematotoxicities of Bacillus strains were intensively analysed. Further assays of nematicidal toxins from …
