Prieto et al. [17] also emphasized the use of indigenous
bacterial endophytes with biocontrol activity against
soil-borne phytopathogens is an environmentallyfriendly
and ecologically-efficient way within the
framework of integrated plant disease management.
The biotechnological potential of endophytic isolates
assessed by their antagonistic activity or by the in vitro
production of enzymes, antibiotics, siderophores, and
plant growth hormones is high. In spite of the great
importance of microorganisms in agricultural
ecosystems, only a very small part of the microbial
diversity relevant to agriculture was carefully
described. The great amount of information regarding
the key role of endophytic bacteria in agriculture is yet
to be explored.
