Abstract
(i) An aerobic spore forming bacterial strain probably belonging to the Bacillus anthraeis group( possessing inhibitory action against fungi associated with the rodt and leaf disease of coconuts has been isolated and studied. (ii) The bacterium appears to be able to exert active lytic action on fungal mycelium and probably produces during its metabolic activities some potent fungicdal substance. (iii) Its presence in a mixed inoculum afforded protection to coconut leaf tissue from infection by the leaf rot organism, Helminthosporium halodes.
