| Abstract |
The world potato is facing major economic losses due to disease pressure and environmental concerns regarding pesticides use. This work aims at addressing these two issues by isolating indigenous bacteria that can be integrated into pest management strategies. More than 2,800 strains ofBacillus-like andPseudomonas-like were isolated from several soils and substrates associated with potato agro-systems in Belgium. Screenings for antagonistic activities against the potato pathogensAlternaria solani, Fusarium solani(BCCM-MUCL 5492),Pectobacterium carotovorum(ATCC 15713),Phytophthora infestans(CRA-W10022) andRhizoctonia solani(BCCM-MUCL 51929) were performed, allowing the selection of 52Bacillusspp. and eightPseudomonasspp. displaying growth inhibition of at least 50% underin vitroconditions, particularly againstP. infestans. All 60 bacterial isolates were identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing and further characterized for the production of potential bio-active secondary metabolites. The antagonistic activities displayed by the selected strains indicated that versatile metabolites can be produced by the strains. For instance, the detection of genes involved bacilysin biosynthesis was correlated with the strong antagonism ofBacillus pumilusstrains towardP. infestans, whereas the production of both bio-surfactants and siderophores might explain the high antagonistic activities against late blight. Greenhouse assays with potato plants were performed with the most effective strains (sevenBacillusspp. and fourPseudomonasspp.) in order to evaluate theirin vivoantagonistic effect againstP. infestans. Based on these results, four strains (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens17A-B3,Bacillus subtilis30B-B6,Pseudomonas brenneri43R-P1 andPseudomonas protegens44R-P8) were retained for further evaluation of their protection index againstP. infestansin a pilot field trial. Interestingly,B. subtilis30B-B6 was shown to significantly decrease late blight severity throughout the crop season. Overall, this study showed that antagonistic indigenous soil bacteria can offer an alternative to the indiscriminate use of pesticide in potato agro-systems. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 March 2018.
All research outputs
#15,493,741
of 23,025,074 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#15,370
of 25,149 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#274,014
of 446,086 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#376
of 558 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,025,074 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 25,149 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 446,086 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 558 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
