Answer

The isolate were screened for antagonistic activity against soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi by performing dual culture assays. The isolate included Botryosphaeria ribis, which are common phytopathogens and often cause soil diseases in various plants (30–33). The centers of PDA plates were inoculated with pure cultures of pathogens (5-mm discs) and incubated for 24 h. next; the bacterial isolates were incubated on both sides into 9-cm diameter Petri dishes containing PDA. Three replicate plates were maintained for each isolate. All plates were incubated at 30°C in a regulated incubator for 72 h. The percent growth inhibition was calculated using the following formula: inhibition (%) = 1− (fungal growth/control growth) × 100%

The bacterial isolate were evaluated for their plant growth-promoting traits. Among them, the XH-9 strain was selected from our collection in this work, which not only showed wide broad-spectrum activity against phytopathogens.
