Relevance of in vitro agar based screens to characterize the anti-fungal activities of bacterial endophyte communities

Conclusions:
Evidence was gained here that the in vitro dual culture method is a relevant method for high throughput screening of plant endophyte communities for anti-fungal activity. In our study, the method captured all of the microbes that suppressed the corresponding pathogens in planta.
