THE ROLE OF SURFACTINE PRODUCED BY ENDOPHITIC BACTERIA <i>BACILLUS SUBTILIS</i> 26D IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SYMBIOTIC RELATIONS WITH POTATO PLANTS
The interaction of plants with endophytic bacteria is of great interest. Based on the study of two recombinant strains based on B. subtilis 26D, in which the synthesis of surfactin lipopeptide was disturbed, it was shown that the high efficiency of colonization of the internal tissues of potato plants by the surfactin-producing strain B. subtilis 26D is due to the absence of an oxidative burst in inoculated plants.
