The Bacillus Subtilis BS 934 antimicrobial has properties, which are differ it from the antimicrobials, described for other bacilli. The substance is able to change the pattern of ring formation by chemotactic cells of the Erwinia amylovora, the fire blight agent, and to suppress the penetration and movement of the pathogen within plant vessels and capillary tubes of chromatography paper in vitro. The substance caused changes in membrane voltage and enhanced the K+ ion efflux from Erwinia Аmylovora cells.
