Phanerochaete chrysosporium degrade both cellulose and lignin and to cause separation of cells into fibers. This biocontrol method is carried out by dual culture method. The antagonistic effect of fungi such as Trichoderma viridae and Aspergillus niger against P. chrysosporium were analysed. In this study T. viridae highest control the pathogen, while A. niger moderately control the pathogen. The bacterial antagonist such as Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Enterobacter aerogenes and mixed culture of bacteria were effectively control the pathogen. So these organisms were used as biocontrol agents against wood degrading basidiomycete P. chrysosporium
