Devaluation of poplar products by sapstain accounts for huge and unpredictable losses each year in China. We had isolated four poplar sapstain fungi,Ceratocystis adiposaHz91,Lasiodiplodia theobromaeYM0737,L. theobromaeFx46, andFusariumsp. YM05, from five poplar varieties and 13 antagonistic bacteria from nine diverse varieties. After being experimented with agar plates, wood chips, and enzyme activities, strain B37 was identified as the best poplar sapstain biocontrol bacterium. The strain B37 was identified asBacillus subtilisusing sequences of the 16S rRNA gene, physiological biochemical, and morphological characteristics.
