diseases. The antagonistic bacteria B. velezensis strain 8-4 could control not only
potato scab, but also potato anthracnose, gangrene, blight, and black shank as a
broad-spectrum antagonistic agent with potential applications in the disease control
(Cui et al. 2020).
Worldwide, powdery mildew (PM) is a common disease of plants caused by obligate biotrophic fungal pathogens (Liang et al. 2018). Bacillus spp. have been found
to be effective biocontrol agents of PM (Panstruga and Kuhn 2019). Jakuschkin et al.
(2016) also found that endophytes Mycosphaerella punctiformis and Monochaetia
kansensis have antagonistic activities against oak PM. Clark et al. (2014) reported
that the extract of Seimatosporium sp. isolated from the Canadian medicinal plant
Hypericum perforatum exhibited better antifungal and antimycobacterial activity.
Spry et al. (2018) also found that the fermentation broth of Seimatosporium sp.
CL28611 displayed excellent anti-plasmodial activity in vitro. Zhao et al. (2020)
reported that the isolate Seimatosporium sp. M7SB 41 from the PM resistance Rosa
variety may play an important role in host plant PM resistance through producing
some antimicrobial metabolites.
