The culture filtrate of CHM1, even when sterilized, inhibited mycelial growth of Fusarium
oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinereapers, Gibberella zeae, Dothiorella gregaria and Colletotrichum
gossypii in vitro. When CHM1 culture suspension was sprayed on plant leaves, it protected maize (Zea
mays) against infection by Bipolaris maydis and horsebean (Vicia faba) against infection by R. solani
