A gram-positive bacterium with antagonistic activity towards
soilborne fungal pathogens has been isolated from the mycorrhizosphere of Sorghum bicolor inoculated with Glomus
mosseae. It has been identified as Paenibacillus sp.
strain B2 based on its analytical profile index and on 16S ribosomal
DNA analysis. Besides having antagonistic activity, this bacterium
stimulates mycorrhization.
