Abstract
The strain Bacillus UCR-236 produces a substance with activity against some mycelial fungi but no activity against yeast and bacteria. It is possible to reduce the infection rate of Mycena citricolor (American leaf spot disease agent) on the coffee leaf surface in a moisture cham ber test, using Bacillus UCR-236 culture. A possible action pattern of the substance was suggested.
