Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript is a nice overview of the toxins produced by some enotmopathogenic micribials. It is of interest to the readership in the field.

However it is a short representation of a complex field of research, and it should be seen more as a "Communication" providing several examples instead of an inclusive "Review".

Line 194: humoral response should be included in the list of main innate immunity

 

Author Response

Reviewer: However it is a short representation of a complex field of research, and it should be seen more as a "Communication" providing several examples instead of an inclusive "Review".

Response: I agree with the reviewer that it is a complex field of research. That is why I have taken a novel (different) approach and used mode of action to make the review comprehensive and yet not too long or redundant with the existing literature. There have been many topical reviews on specific biocontrol organisms published already and they have been referred in this manuscript for the benefit of the reader.

Reviewer: Line 194: humoral response should be included in the list of main innate immunity.

Response: I thank the reviewer for pointing out this and I made the suggested change. Although I have listed the humoral response in the subsequent, I missed it in the introductory sentence.

All changes are indicated in red font.
