A potato rhiszospheric isolate, fluorescent Pseudomonas BRL-I, showed in vitro antagonistic activity against Curvularia lunata. Microscopic studies of the mycelium after antagonism illustrated hyphal shriveling, swelling, vaculation, short branching and granulation of cytoplasm resulting in lysis of hyphae of C. lunata.. Association of antagonistic property of the isolate has been found to be coupled with chitinolytic and proteolytic activity as weii as by the production of indole acetic acid and spiderophore.
