Trichoderma aggressivum aggressivum (Ta2), the causal agent of green mold, inhibits mycelium growth of the Agarcius bisporus mushroom which leads to severe or complete crop loss. Bacillus spp. have been known to show a strong inhibition to Ta2. Bacillus spp., isolated from compost, were screened for inhibition against Ta2. Transposon mutagenesis was performed on Bacillus strains to identify the genes responsible for the inhibition of Ta2.
