Among those beneficial bacteria, Bacillus spp. are one of the most promising BCAs. A wide range of bioactive secondary metabolites (BSMs) are involved in biocontrol via antibiosis to phytopathogens and/or via elicitation of systemic resistance in their host plants. This chapter illustrates the diversity of pathosystems in which BCA based on Bacillus spp. have proved effective. It describes the mechanisms underpinning this biocontrol activity via production of a wide range of enzymes, proteins and small-size BSMs. As these BSMs are clearly involved in pathogen control, we emphasise the importance of understanding the ecological factors influencing their production. In the last part of the chapter, we highlight the potential interactions between Bacillus spp. and other soil microorganisms in developing consortia of biocontrol agents combining species with synergistic activities for plant health improvement. 2023-02-27T12:21:31Z 2023-02-27T12:21:31Z 2021 chapter ONIX_20230227_9781801462518_26 9781801462518 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/61511 eng Burleigh Dodds Series in Agricultural Science application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 9781801462518_web.pdf Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing 10.19103/AS.2021.0093.10 10.19103/AS.2021.0093.10 9f8f6c63-e2ae-40b8-8aac-316abb377d6a Université de Liège 9781801462518 Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing 54 Cambridge [...] open access
