Biocontrol properties from phyllospheric bacteria isolated from Solanum lycopersicum and Lactuca sativa and genome mining of antimicrobial gene clusters

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Three recently isolated strains of the Bacillus genus were identified that have high antagonistic activity against lettuce and tomato plant pathogens. Known and unknown antimicrobial BGCs were identified in these antagonistic bacterial isolates, indicating their potential to be used as biocontrol agents. Our study serves as a strong incentive for subsequent purification and characterization of novel antimicrobial compounds that are important for biocontrol.
