Soil borne phytopathogens are a continuous threat to plant health. Most soil borne pathogens have a broad spectrum of plant hosts being capable to infect cereals, oil crops and legumes of various botanical families. Biological measurements capable to reduce plant pathogens growth and development are a sustainable way to prevent crop infections with minimum risks for farmers, consumers and environment. In the present study, several bacterial strains isolated from different sources were evaluated for their potential to reduce the growth of Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium graminearum, Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Sclerotium bataticola. Tested strains revealed clear aspects of fungal cell wall and cell membrane alteration.
