Direct Antibiotic Activity of Bacillibactin Broadens the Biocontrol Range of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens MBI600

Siderophores have mostly been studied concerning their contribution to the fitness and virulence of bacterial pathogens. In the present work, we isolated and characterized for the first time the siderophore bacillibactin from a commercial bacterial biocontrol agent.
