    abstract = {The isolation of <I>Bacillus</I> strains with antifungal activity is important to carry out tests to protect economically important crops. We determined the <I>in vitro</I> activity of 13 native strains of <I>Bacillus</I> sp. isolated from soil against <I>Macrophomina pasheolina</I> using a dual assay in nutrient agar. All the strains showed inhibition of radial growth of <I>M. phaseolina</I> from 31-80%, with strains LUM B01 and B04 in a 80.8 and 75.9%, respectively with the highest antifungal activity. The crude extract of the strain of chitinases LUMB0 04 inhibited the growth of <I>M. phaseolina</I> by 30%. The strains of chitinolytic<I> Bacillus</I> sp. isolated from soils showed antifungal activity and have the potential to be used in biological control of <I>M. phaseolina</I>.}
