This report investigates antifungal activity and effects of growth promotion by biosurfactant produced from Bacillus sp. LP03 and TBM40-3 against fungus causing plants disease (Glay Mold-Botrytis cinerea). Antifugal activity against B. cinerea infeeted to leek (Allium tuberosum Rottler) exhibited better than antifungal agent farming drug (smilex, Dong bang agro., Seoul, Korea.) through the field test. After infected by plant's disease, the leaves growth and number are maintained under presenting biosurfactant produced strains. Especially, one of the strains, named Bacillus sp. LP03 showed strong antifungal activity on field studies.
