Endophytic Bacteria Antagonistic to Fusarium Wilt in Chickpea

73 bacterial isolates were screened from 210 plant samples for antagonistic activity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (FOC). The study by Jonnada Likhita, last updated in May 2026, identified five promising isolates and evaluated their biocontrol potential in vitro and in field conditions.

Use Cases

• Identify candidate biocontrol agents based on in vitro antagonism percentages against FOC.
• Evaluate plant growth-promoting traits of endophytic bacteria described in the study.
• Assess stress tolerance of bacterial isolates based on salinity, heat, and drought assays.
• Compare laboratory and field efficacy of bacterial isolates for disease management.

Strengths

• Includes results from both in vitro (e.g., 57.37% inhibition) and field condition experiments.
• Five isolates were molecularly identified via 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
• Data is associated with a detailed methodological description covering isolation, screening, and characterization.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a DOCX document, which may require parsing to extract structured data.

Collection Method

Endophytic bacteria were isolated from leaves, stems, and roots of various plant species, screened against FOC, and characterized biochemically and molecularly.
