Abstract

As a result of screening of spore-forming bacteria, a B-13186 strain with a wide spectrum of antagonistic activity identified as Brevibacillus laterosporus by the analysis of sequences of variable sites of 16S rRNA was selected. Morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics of the strain were studied. A distinctive feature of the strain is the presence of a canoe-like inclusion formed in sporangia and attached to the mature spore, as well as the ability to synthesize round-shaped crystalline inclusions. The strain was shown to be active against various species of gram-positive bacteria including S. aureus (MRSA), against phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Phoma solanicola, Rhizoctonia solani and Botrytis cinerea and against microalgae Nostoc spp., Anabaena spp., Microсystis spp., Chlorella spp., Amorphonostoc spp. and Synechocystis spp. Brevibacillus laterosporus, spore-forming bacteria, microalgae, phytopathogenic fungi, crystalline inclusions.
