Abstract

strain SH-3 (Cmm) were 68.93 µg/mL, 34.47 µg/mL, and 68.93 µg/mL, respectively. These MIC values were found to be lower than free juglone. Based on the seed germination results, the prepared formulation did not show any phytotoxic effect on tomato seeds at the applied concentrations. Thus, the nanoliposomal encapsulation technique appears to be a promising method for enhancing the antibacterial effectiveness of juglone as a biocontrol agent.
