164 strains of Antagonistic bacteria were isolated from 131 mature-period soil samples from eight counties in Bijie City, Guizhou Province, China. In this study, the antagonistic bacteria that inhibited Alternaria alternata were screened and isolated. In addition, the antagonistic strain L2 was identified as Bacillus megaterium. Influencing factors also demonstrated that the suitable conditions for the production of antibacterial substances by strain L2 are as follows: liquid volume 50 mL/500 mL at pH 7.0 and 30°C under oscillation culture conditions, with beef extract as the carbon, nitrogen source.
