Abstract
The present invention is directed to isolated Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas putida, and Sporobolomyces roseus which are useful as a biocontrol agent. These organisms are useful in a method of imparting to plants protection against plant pathogens by applying them to plants, plant seeds, or soil surrounding plants under conditions effective to impart disease protection to the plants or plants produced from the plant seeds. The biocontrol agents are also useful in a method of enhancing plant growth which involves applying them to plants, plants seeds, or soil surrounding plants under conditions effective to enhance growth in the plants or plants produced from the plant seeds.
Claims33
An isolated Bacillus subtilis having ATCC Accession No. 202152.
An isolated Bacillus subtilis having ATCC Accession No. 202152 and having a distinctive ribotype pattern, said ribotype pattern comprising:

- a second peak having an RBI of between about 168 and 252 and a molecular weight of between about 3.60 and 4.60 kb;
- a third peak having an RBI of between about 72 and 108 and a molecular weight of between about 5.10 and 6.10 kb;
- a fourth peak having an RBI of between about 116 and 174 and a molecular weight of between about 5.60 and 6.60 kb;
- a fifth peak having an RBI of between about 116 and 174 and a molecular weight of between about 5.70 and 6.70 kb;
- a sixth peak having an RBI of between about 84 and 126 and a molecular weight of between about 8.00 and 9.00 kb;
- and
- a seventh peak having an RBI of between about 78 and 118 and a molecular weight of between about 11.00 and 12.17 kb,
- and wherein said RBI is a value on a scale from 0 to 255.
