Molecular and biological investigation of Pseudomonas aureofaciens PA147-2 as a potential biocontrol agent of phytopathogenic fungi

Pseudomonas aureofaciens PA 147-2 can inhibit the in vitro growth of phytopathogenic fungi, and suppress Phytophthora rot of asparagus in the glasshouse and in the field.
