Endophytic actinomycetes are important for the prospection of biologically active
compounds and the development of biotechnological processes in agriculture for the
biological control of plant diseases and phytopathogens. Eleven endophytic actinobacteria
species isolated from Paullinia cupana were screened for in vitro antibiosis against five
phytopathogens and control of anthracnose in pepper (Capsicum annuum) fruits. Cultures of
the most active actinobacteria were fractionated with methanol and ethyl acetate, and the …
