The use of Pseudomonas spp. as bacterial biocontrol agents to control plant disease Ghent University
Most Pseudomonas biocontrol strains are associated with the rhizosphere of plants, where they control soil pathogens by antibiosis or competition, and leaf pathogens via induced systemic resistance. Genome mining and the division of the vastly heterogeneous genus Pseudomonas in phylogenomic (sub)groups has clarified the relation between biocontrol characteristics and phylogeny. Based on their activity, Pseudomonas biocontrol strains come in ...
Combining Biocontrol Agents with Chemical Fungicides for Integrated Plant Fungal Disease Control KU Leuven
Feeding a rising population of currently 7.8 billion people globally requires efficient agriculture, which is preferably sustainable. Today, farmers are largely dependent on synthetic fungicides to avoid food losses caused by fungal diseases. However, the extensive use of these has resulted in the emergence of fungicide-resistant pathogens and concerns have been raised over the residual effects on the environment and human health. In this ...
Short-chain fatty acids and poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates: (new) biocontrol agents for a sustainable animal production Ghent University
Amorphous poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB)-accumulating Bacillus spp. as biocontrol agents in crustacean culture Ghent University
The latest FAO report showed that almost half of aquatic food products worldwide are produced from the aquaculture sector, thus making the sector a significant contributor of food fish products for the current 7.3 billion people in the planet. However, the development and expansion of aquaculture has always been hampered by diseases, thereby affecting its worldwide production and trade. Hence, sustainable measures to combat diseases for aquatic ...
