The study investigated the antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger CBS 76997 and Penicillium oxalicum 20B of several Lactobacillus strains (LAB). The in vitro antifungal activity of cell-free supernatants and biomass of Lactobacillus strains against the growth of A. niger CBS 76997 and P. oxalicum 20B was determined by monitoring the fungal colony diameter over time by spot inoculation method and double layer method.

Alternative strategies are needed in pest management to protect crops from pests. Occurrence of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on crop plants, especially on sites that are selected by pests, may be associated with host selection by insects. We carried out laboratory investigations as well as screen house and field experiments to understand whether epiphytic LAB occur at oviposition sites of agricultural and horticultural crops, probably modulating pest abundance by attraction or repulsion. The diversity of such epiphytic LAB associated with insect oviposition sites is discussed.
