The study aims to isolate and identify antagonistic bacteria against coconut pathogens for biocontrol purposes.
Isolated 65 bacterial strains from 58 soil samples in coconut orchards.
Identified the most antagonistic strain using morphological and molecular analyses.
Optimized fermentation conditions for maximum antimicrobial activity.
Strain X1 identified as Bacillus velezensis with over 70% inhibition rate against multiple pathogens.
Antimicrobial activity optimized using specific nutrients and culture conditions.
Bacillus velezensis X1 could reduce reliance on synthetic fungicides.
