Tonelli et al. [43] also demonstrated the role of
endophtyic bacteria agaist peanut fungal pathogens
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, S. minor, Sclerotium rolfsii and
Fusarium solani. The authors also demonstrated the
role of soluble extracellular compounds including
siderophores and volatile metabolites. Yang et al. [42]
reviewed that bacterial endophytes can mediate the de
novo synthesis of novel antimicrobe and antifungal
secondary metabolites, which has been accepted as a
potential fungicide to restrict the spread of plant
diseases. Further also pointed that a wide range of
biologically active compounds have been isolated from
endophytic organisms and thus remains a relatively
untapped source of novel natural products. Yin et al.
[44], evaluated the antifungal efficacy of fermentation
filtrate of endophytic Bacillus amyloliquefaciens from
Poplar against Botryosphaeria dothidea with 84.33 %
inhibition. They proposed the possible role of
antimicrobial dipeptides or cyclic lipopeptides. They also emphasized that B. amyloliquefaciens obtained
from poplar had an advantage of being “native”
antagonist isolated from the same habitat in which it is
expected to be used for biological control
