In this study, 76 bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere soil of pepper. Of these, 23 bacterial isolates capable of inhibiting Phytophthora capsici growth were selected. Among the antagonistic bacteria, one strain, IBFCBF‐1 showed the strongest antagonistic activity, and was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, physiological and biochemical testing, and morphological characteristics. When tested with a dual‐culture method and with laboratory greenhouse studies, the strain IBFCBF‐1 was found to be a potential biocontrol agent for controlling the plant pathogen, P. capsici. Moreover, it showed high efficiency and broad‐spectrum antifungal properties in vitro. Under greenhouse conditions, IBFCBF‐1 could significantly promote the growth of pepper seedlings, and was able to solubilize phosphate, and produce indole acetic acid (IAA) and ammonia. This study clearly demonstrated that IBFCBF‐1 is a potential candidate exhibiting phytophthora blight‐suppressive and plant growth‐promoting effects on pepper. 相似文献

Diversity and activity of biosurfactant-producing Pseudomonas in the rhizosphere of black pepper in Vietnam 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Aims: Phytophthora capsici is a major pathogen of black pepper and zoospores play an important role in the infection process. Fluorescent pseudomonads that produce biosurfactants with zoosporicidal activities were isolated from the black pepper rhizosphere in Vietnam, and their genotypic diversity and potential to control Phy. capsici root rot was determined. Methods: Biosurfactant‐producing pseudomonads were genotypically and biochemically characterized by BOX‐polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 16S‐rDNA sequencing, reverse‐phase‐high‐performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography‐masss spectrometry analyses. Results: Biosurfactant‐producing fluorescent pseudomonads make up c. 1.3% of the culturable Pseudomonas population in the rhizosphere of black pepper. Although BOX‐PCR revealed substantial genotypic diversity, the isolates were shown to produce the same biosurfactants and were all identified as Pseudomonas putida. When applied to black pepper stem cuttings, several of the biosurfactant‐producing strains provided significant disease control. In absence of the disease, several of the bacterial strains promoted shoot and root growth of black pepper stem cuttings. Conclusions: Biosurfactant‐producing pseudomonads indigenous to the rhizosphere of black pepper plants are genotypically diverse and provide a novel resource for the control of Phy. capsici root rot and growth promotion of black pepper stem cuttings. Significance and Impact of the Study: The results of this study provide a strong basis for further development of supplementary strategies with antagonistic bacteria to control foot and root rot of black pepper and to promote plant growth. 相似文献

Aims: Developing new bio‐agents to control plant disease is desirable. Entomopathogenic bacteria Xenorhabdus spp. have potential antimicrobial activity in agriculture. This work was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Xenorhabdus bovienii YL002 on plant pathogenic fungi and oomycete in vitro and the efficiency of this strain to reduce the in vivo incidence of grey mould rot on tomato plants caused by Botrytis cinerea and leaf scorch on pepper plants caused by Phytophthora capsici. Methods and Results: The antimicrobial activity of X. bovienii YL002 was firstly determined on in vitro plant pathogenic fungi and oomycete and then on tomato fruits and plants infected with B. cinerea and pepper plants infected with P. capsici. The cell‐free filtrate of X. bovienii YL002 exhibited highest inhibition effects (>98%) on mycelia growth of P. capsici and B. cinerea. The 50% inhibition concentration (EC50) of the methanol‐extracted bioactive compounds (methanol extract) of the cell‐free filtrate against P. capsici and B. cinerea were 164·83 and 42·16 μg ml?1. The methanol extract also had a strong effect on the spore germination of P. capsici and B. cinerea, with a EC50 of 70·38 and 69·33 μg ml?1, respectively. At 1000 μg ml?1, the methanol extract showed a therapeutic effect of 70·82% and a protective effect of 77·4% against B. cinerea on tomato plants compared with the control. The methanol extract also showed potent effect against P. capsici, with a therapeutic effect of 68·14% and a protective effect of 65·46% on pepper plants compared with the control. Conclusions: Xenorhabdus bovienii YL002 produces antimicrobial compounds with strong activity on plant pathogenic fungi and oomycete and has the potential for controlling grey mould rot of tomato plants and leaf scorch of pepper and could be useful in integrated control against diverse plant pathogenic fungi and oomycete. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study showed the potential that X. bovienii YL002 can be used to control the grey mould rot caused by B. cinerea on tomato plants and leaf scorch caused by P. capsici on pepper plants with the objective to reduce treatments with chemical fungicides. 相似文献

Aims: Plant growth‐promoting Pseudomonas putida strain 267, originally isolated from the rhizosphere of black pepper, produces biosurfactants that cause lysis of zoospores of the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora capsici. The biosurfactants were characterized, the biosynthesis gene(s) partially identified, and their role in control of Phytophthora damping‐off of cucumber evaluated. Methods and Results: The biosurfactants were shown to lyse zoospores of Phy. capsici and inhibit growth of the fungal pathogens Botrytis cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani. In vitro assays further showed that the biosurfactants of strain 267 are essential in swarming motility and biofilm formation. In spite of the zoosporicidal activity, the biosurfactants did not play a significant role in control of Phytophthora damping‐off of cucumber, since both wild type strain 267 and its biosurfactant‐deficient mutant were equally effective, and addition of the biosurfactants did not provide control. Genetic characterization revealed that surfactant biosynthesis in strain 267 is governed by homologues of PsoA and PsoB, two nonribosomal peptide synthetases involved in production of the cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) putisolvin I and II. The structural relatedness of the biosurfactants of strain 267 to putisolvins I and II was supported by LC‐MS and MS‐MS analyses. Conclusions: The biosurfactants produced by Ps. putida 267 were identified as putisolvin‐like CLPs; they are essential in swarming motility and biofilm formation, and have zoosporicidal and antifungal activities. Strain 267 provides excellent biocontrol activity against Phytophthora damping‐off of cucumber, but the lipopeptide surfactants are not involved in disease suppression. Significance and Impact of the Study: Pseudomonas putida 267 suppresses Phy. capsici damping‐off of cucumber and provides a potential supplementary strategy to control this economically important oomycete pathogen. The putisolvin‐like biosurfactants exhibit zoosporicidal and antifungal activities, yet they do not contribute to biocontrol of Phy. capsici and colonization of cucumber roots by Ps. putida 267. These results suggest that Ps. putida 267 employs other, yet uncharacterized, mechanisms to suppress Phy. capsici. 相似文献

Previously, we selected bacterial strain ISE14 through a sequential selection procedure that included radicle, seedling, and in planta assays and field tests. This strain not only suppressed a destructive soilborne disease, Phytophthora blight, caused by Phytophthora capsici but also increased fruit yields of pepper plants in the fields. This study was conducted to identify strain ISE14 by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and to characterise biocontrol and plant growth promotion activities of the strain in pepper plants. Strain ISE14, identified as Chryseobacterium sp., significantly reduced disease severity in plants inoculated with Ph. capsici and promoted plant growth (lengths and dry weights of shoots and roots) compared with those in plants treated with Escherichia coli DH5α (negative control) or MgSO4 solution (untreated control). This strain effectively colonised pepper plant roots as assessed by bacterial population analysis and confocal laser scanning microscopy; it enhanced soil microbial activity and biofilm formation, but not the production of indole acetic acid. Strain ISE14 also solubilised organic or inorganic phosphate by production of acid and alkaline phosphatases or reduction in pH, resulting in enhanced pepper plant growth. This strain exhibited similar or greater activity in disease control and plant growth promotion tests compared with positive control strains Paenibacillus polymyxa AC‐1 (biocontrol) and Bacillus vallismortis EXTN‐1 (plant growth). Therefore, Chryseobacterium sp. ISE14 may be a phosphate‐solubilising and plant growth‐promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) strain that suppresses Phytophthora blight of pepper. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a phosphate‐solubilising PGPR strain of Chryseobacterium sp. that suppresses the pepper disease. 相似文献

For field application of a bacterial strain used to control Phythophthora capsici, we will need a biologically and economically efficient carrier medium. The known antagonist Paenibacillus ehimensisKWN38 was grown in a grass medium where it showed high antifungal and lytic enzyme activities. To demonstrate the potential of P. ehimensisKWN38 for biocontrol of late blight disease in pepper, pot trials were conducted by treating the 1‐month‐old plants with water (W), a selected grass medium (G3), G plus P. ehimensisKWN38 inoculation (G3P) or synthetic fungicide (F). The shoot dry weight in G3P was higher than that in W and F treatments at 15 days after zoospore infection (DZI). The root dry weight in G3P was also higher than that in W. The root mortality of G3 and W increased over 58 and 80% at 15 DZI, and some plants in those treatments wilted due to the failure of root physiology. The plants in G3P and F survived well because of their better root health conditions. Soil cellulase activity of G3P was consistently higher than that of W and F at earlier observation times (0, 2 and 6 DZI). The root β‐1,3‐glucanase activity of G3P promptly increased to maximum shortly after zoospore infection and reached the maximum value of 51.12 unit g?1 of fresh weight at 2 DZI. All these results indicate that inoculation of P. ehimensisKWN38 to the root zone of potted pepper plants increases plant growth, root and soil enzyme activities and alleviates the root death caused by infection with P. capsici zoospores. 相似文献

This study examined the effect of ASD strain (Aspergillus flavipes), isolated from continuous cropping soil for pepper and named by the sampling position, on soil microflora and soil enzymes in rooting zone soil of healthy and diseased (Phytophthora capsici) pepper plants. Results showed that the ASD strain could significantly reduce the number of bacteria and actinomycetes, with a significant increase in fungi in the rhizosphere soil of both healthy and diseased plants. With increasing colonization time of the ASD strain, the number of bacteria and actinomycetes decreased initially and then increased gradually, while the number of fungi was first increased significantly and later decreased slowly. The soil enzyme activities of urease, acid phosphatase, invertase and dehydrogenase were significantly increased by the ASD strain, while the activity of catalase was not significantly increased. As time from inoculation with the ASD strain increased, the activities of various enzymes were higher than controls. Maximum enzyme activities were found on the tenth day after ADS inoculation. The response of soil enzyme activities affected by the ASD strain was as follows: urease > dehydrogenase > invertase > acid phosphatase > catalase. These results suggest that the biocontrol of ASD strain could improve the micro ecology of rhizosphere soil. 相似文献

Several rhizobacteria play a vital role in plant protection, plant growth promotion and the improvement of soil health. In
this study, we have isolated a strain of Lysobacter antibioticus HS124 from rhizosphere and demonstrate its antifungal activity against various pathogens including Phytophthora capsici, a destructive pathogen of pepper plants. L. antibioticus HS124 produced lytic enzymes such as chitinase, β-1,3-glucanase, lipase, protease, and an antibiotic compound. This antibiotic
compound was purified by diaion HP-20, silica gel, sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography.
The purified compound was identified as 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid by gas chromatography-electron ionization (GC-EI) and gas
chromatography-chemical ionization (GC-CI) mass spectrometry. This antibiotic exhibited destructive activity toward P. capsici hyphae. In vivo experiments utilizing green house grown pepper plants demonstrated the protective effect of L. antibioticus HS124 against P. capsici. The growth of pepper plants treated with L. antibioticus culture was enhanced, resulting in greater protection from fungal disease. Optimum growth and protection was found when cultures
were grown in presence of Fe(III). Additionally, the activities of pathogenesis-related proteins such as chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase
decreased in roots, but increased in leaves with time after treatment compared to controls. Our results demonstrate L. antibioticus HS124 as a promising candidate for biocontrol of P. capsici in pepper plants. 相似文献

Phytophthora capsici causes serious diseases in numerous crop plants. Polygalacturonases (PGs) are cell wall‐degrading enzymes that play an important role in pathogenesis in straminopilous pathogens. To understand PGs as they relate to the virulence of P. capsici, Pcipg2 was identified from a genomic library of a highly virulent P. capsici strain. Pcipg2 was strongly expressed during symptom development after the inoculation of pepper leaves with P. capsici. The wild protein (PCIPGII) was obtained from the expression of pcipg2 and found that increasing activity of PGs in PCIPGII‐treated pepper leaves was consistent with increasing symptom development. Asp residues in active sites within pcipg2 affected PCIPGII activity or its virulence on pepper leaves. Results show that pcipg2 is an important gene among pcipg genes, and illustrate the benefit of analyzing mechanisms of pathogenicity during the period of host/parasite interaction. genesis 47:535–544, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Control of Late Blight (Phytophthora capsici ) in Pepper Plant with a Compost Containing Multitude of Chitinase-producing Bacteria 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Dong Hyun Chae Rong De Jin Hoon Hwangbo Yong Woong Kim Yong Cheol Kim Ro Dong Park Hari B. Krishnan Kil Yong Kim 《BioControl》2006,51(3):339-351
Compost sustaining a multitude of chitinase-producing bacteria was evaluated in a greenhouse study as a soil amendment for the control of late blight (Phytophthora capsici L.) in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Microbial population and exogenous enzyme activity were measured in the rhizosphere and correlated to the growth and health of pepper plant. Rice straw was composted with and without a chitin source, after having been inoculated with an aliquot of coastal area soil containing a known titer of chitinase-producing bacteria. P. capsici inoculated plants cultivated in chitin compost-amended soil exhibited significantly higher root and shoot weights and lower root mortality than plants grown in pathogen-inoculated control compost. Chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase activities in rhizosphere of plants grown in chitin compost-amended soil were twice that seen in soil amended with control compost. Colony forming units of chitinase-producing bacteria isolated from rhizosphere of plants grown in chitin compost-amended soil were 103 times as prevalent as bacteria in control compost. These results indicate that increasing the population of chitinase-producing bacteria and soil enzyme activities in rhizosphere by compost amendment could alleviate pathogenic effects of P. capsici. 相似文献

Phytophthora capsici is an oomycete known as the causal agent of wilting disease in Capsicum spp., which causes rotting of roots, crowns, stems, leaves and fruits. To date, little is known about the production of phytotoxic metabolites by P. capsici or their role in the infection process. As part of a project directed towards the isolation and identification of phytotoxins produced by a strain of P. capsici pathogenic to habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense), we have evaluated the effect of factors such as aeration, light and culture medium on the production of mycelium and phytotoxic metabolites by P. capsici. The results showed that culturing P. capsici in potato dextrose broth (PDB) containing habanero pepper leaf infusion, in the dark and under still conditions, results in a high production of mycelium and a high phytotoxicity of the culture filtrate, in the shortest period of time. 相似文献

Aims: To assess the applicability of sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers obtained from BOX, ERIC and RAPD fragments to design primers for real‐time PCR quantification of the phytostimulatory maize inoculants Azospirillum brasilense UAP‐154 and CFN‐535 in the rhizosphere. Methods and Results: Primers were designed based on strain‐specific SCAR markers and were screened for successful amplification of target strain and absence of cross‐reaction with other Azospirillum strains. The specificity of primers thus selected was verified under real‐time PCR conditions using genomic DNA from strain collection and DNA from rhizosphere samples. The detection limit was 60 fg DNA with pure cultures and 4 × 103 (for UAP‐154) and 4 × 104 CFU g?1 (for CFN‐535) in the maize rhizosphere. Inoculant quantification was effective from 104 to 108 CFU g?1 soil. Conclusion: BOX‐based SCAR markers were useful to find primers for strain‐specific real‐time PCR quantification of each A. brasilense inoculant in the maize rhizosphere. Significance and Impact of the Study: Effective root colonization is a prerequisite for successful Azospirillum phytostimulation, but cultivation‐independent monitoring methods were lacking. The real‐time PCR methods developed here will help understand the effect of environmental conditions on root colonization and phytostimulation by A. brasilense UAP‐154 and CFN‐535. 相似文献

Biological Control of Phytophthora Root Rot of Pepper Using Trichoderma harzianum and Streptomyces rochei in Combination 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
M. Ezziyyani M. E. Requena C. Egea-Gilabert M. E. Candela 《Journal of Phytopathology》2007,155(6):342-349
A combination of two compatible micro‐organisms, Trichoderma harzianum and Streptomyces rochei, both antagonistic to the pathogen Phytophthora capsici, was used to control root rot in pepper. The population of the pathogen in soil was reduced by 75% as a result. Vegetative growth of the mycelium of P. capsici was inhibited in vitro on the second day after P. capsici and T. harzianum were placed on the opposite sides of the same Petri plate. Trichoderma harzianum was capable of not only arresting the spread of the pathogen from a distance, but also after invading the whole surface of the pathogen colony, sporulating over it. Scanning electron microscopy showed the hyphae of P. capsici surrounded by those of T. harzianum, their subsequent disintegration, and the eventual suppression of the pathogen's growth. Streptomyces rochei produced a zone of inhibition, from which was obtained a compound with antioomycete property secreted by the bacteria. When purified by high‐pressure liquid chromatography, this compound was identified as 1‐propanone, 1‐(4‐chlorophenyl), which seems to be one of the principal compounds involved in the antagonism. A formulation was prepared that maintained the compound's capacity to inhibit growth of the pathogen for up to 2 years when stored at room temperature in the laboratory on a mixture of plantation soil and vermiculite. The two antagonists, added as a compound formulation, were effective at pH from 3.5 to 5.6 at 23–30°C. The optimal dose of the antagonists in the compound formulation was 3.5 × 108 spores/ml of T. harzianum and 1.0 × 109 FCU/ml of S. rochei. This is the first report of a compound biocontrol formulation of these two antagonists with a potential to control root rot caused by P. capsici. 相似文献

Purification of p47f,a Necrosis‐Inducing Protein Fraction from the Secretome of Phytophthora capsici
Ligia Brito‐Argáez Karlina García‐Sosa Fabiola Escalante‐Erosa Luis Manuel Peña‐Rodríguez Ignacio Islas‐Flores 《Journal of Phytopathology》2014,162(11-12):788-800
The oomycete Phytophthora capsici causes wilting disease in chilli pepper and another solanaceous plants, with important economic consequences. Although much investigation has been conducted about this pathogen, little is still known about which of its proteins are involved in the infection process. In this study, the bioassay‐guided fractionation of the secretome of P. capsici resulted in the purification of a phytotoxic protein fraction designated as p47f, capable of inducing wilting and necrosis on leaves of Capsicum chinense Jacq, and having a 47 kDa polypeptide with proteolytic activity as the major component. The isolated p47f fraction induced DNA degradation and decreased cell survival of C. chinense cell suspension culture. Sequencing of p47f indicated the presence of 15 proteins, which could be grouped into seven classes including a protease group, cell wall remodelling proteins and the transglutaminase elicitor M81D, among others. This is the first report of P. capsici secreting proteins that modulate cell responses mediated by ROS in the host. 相似文献

Phytophthora foot rot of black pepper caused by Phytophthora capsici is a major disease of black pepper throughout production areas in Vietnam. The disease causes collar, foot and tap root rots and eventual death of the infected vine. Potassium phosphonate was evaluated for the control of this disease in greenhouse and field trials. In greenhouse trials three-month-old vines treated with phosphonate by soil drenching (10–20 g a.i./l) and then inoculated with P. capsici mycelium (2% v/v soil) had significantly less foot rot compared to vines grown in non-treated soil. In field trials mature vines were treated with phosphonate at 50–100 g a.i/pole soil drenching or 10 g a.i./l by root infusion. After 10 days root, stem and leaf specimens were removed for bioassay by inoculation with 5 ml of P. capsici zoospores suspension (106–108 spores/ml). Soil drenching with phosphonate inhibited the colonisation of pathogen on excised leaf, stem and root tissues, significantly more than phosphonate root infusion. Our study provides further evidence supporting the efficacy of potassium phosphonate in the management of black pepper foot rot caused by P. capsici. The excised leaf and stem bioassay used in this study is a rapid and useful technique for testing the efficacy of systemic fungicides in controlling this disease. 相似文献

Phytophthora blight caused by Phytophthora capsici is a serious disease in the production of peppers and other vegetables worldwide. Application of fungicides is an important component in developing effective disease management programmes. However, resistance in P. capsici populations to some commonly used fungicides has been documented. Identification of effective new fungicides with different mode of actions is highly desirable. This study was conducted to determine baseline sensitivity of P. capsici isolates to oxathiapiprolin, the first member of a new class of isoxazoline fungicides, and efficacy of this compound for reduction of Phytophthora blight on bell pepper. A collection of 126 P. capsici isolates were evaluated and all the isolates were sensitive to oxathiapiprolin. EC50 values of oxathiapiprolin in inhibiting mycelial growth, sporangium formation and zoospore germination of 25 selected isolates averaged 0.001, 0.0003 and 0.54 µg mL?1, respectively. It appeared that asexual life stages of P. capsici were more sensitive to oxathiapiprolin than other compounds used for control of oomycete pathogens. In field studies, oxathiapiprolin applied at different rates through drip irrigation tubes, or by soil drench plus foliar sprays, reduced Phytophthora blight and increased pepper yield significantly. This is the first report of the efficacy of oxathiapiprolin in suppression of P. capsici, which indicates that oxathiapiprolin is effective in inhibiting the pathogen and has the promise to be a viable option for managing Phytophthora blight in bell pepper production. 相似文献

The fungal species from rhizosphere and rhizoplane of perennial grasses of the Western Ghats of India were studied for their pathogenicity, antagonism in vitro, substrate and root colonization abilities, rhizosphere competence, growth in different soil pH and inoculum shelf-life. Out of 138 non-pathogenic fungal isolates tested, 85 were antagonistic in vitro to chilli anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum capsici. Fifteen isolates with >60% inhibition zone to pathogen culture had saprophytic and root and rhizosphere colonization abilities. The sorghum grain inocula of test antagonistic fungi- Fusarium oxysporum, Chaetomium globosum and Trichoderma harzianum had the shelf-life of 90 days at 20?±?2?°C and required optimum soil pH of 6.5. The above fungal isolates when tested for biocontrol of anthracnose disease in greenhouse and field caused reduction in seedling mortality and decreased disease incidence and severity at various plant growth stages and significant reduction in chilli fruit and seed infection. The test antagonistic fungi promoted seedling and mature plant growth and increased fruit and seed yield. Populations of these antagonistic fungi were fairly high in chilli rhizosphere at harvest. The present study indicated that antagonistic fungi from grass rhizosphere and rhizoplane could be used to control anthracnose and promote plant growth, and increase yield of chilli in field. 相似文献

Colonization of rye (Secale cereale) tissues by nonpathogenic rhizosphere Fusarium culmorum isolates DEMFc2 and DEMFc5 and a pathogenic strain DEMFc37, and their effect on plant fresh weight were studied in pot experiments. Both rhizosphere isolates colonized the epidermis and the cortex but were not found in vessels, while the pathogen colonized all three layers of root cells. The numbers of pathogen CFU isolated from plant tissues were much higher than those of the rhizosphere isolates in spite of the same number of macroconidia used as inoculum (1 × 105 g−1 of soil). Inoculation of seedlings with DEMFc2 resulted in a 20% increase, with DEMFc5 in more than a 20% reduction, and with DEMFc37 in a 38% reduction of shoot fresh weight of 14-day-old plants. Pre-colonization of plants with (either of) the rhizosphere isolates and subsequent inoculation with the pathogen resulted in plant weights the same as those observed in plants inoculated with the rhizosphere strain alone. The disease severity index for shoots of plants pre-colonized with DEMFc2 was reduced from class 4 (86% diseased plants) observed for plants inoculated with the pathogen alone to class 2 (average of 8% diseased plants) when pre-treated with the rhizosphere strain. The CFU number of the pathogen isolated from the interior of roots of plants pre-colonized with the rhizosphere isolates was as low as 10% of the number isolated from plants inoculated with the pathogen alone. A study of in vitro interactions between the rhizosphere isolates and the pathogen suggests that changes in plant colonization by the pathogen and its effect on fresh weight of plants pre-colonized with the rhizosphere isolates were not connected with inhibition of its growth by a direct action of the rhizosphere isolates. The results suggest that strain DEMFc2 can be considered as a potential biocontrol agent. 相似文献

Aim
To examine the inhibition effects of rhizosphere fungal strain MF‐91 on the rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe grisea and sheath blight pathogen Rhizoctonia solani.Methods and Results
Rhizosphere fungal strain MF‐91 and its metabolites suppressed the in vitro mycelial growth of R. solani. The inhibitory effect of the metabolites was affected by incubation temperature, lighting time, initial pH and incubation time of rhizosphere fungal strain MF‐91. The in vitro mycelial growth of M. grisea was insignificantly inhibited by rhizosphere fungal strain MF‐91 and its metabolites. The metabolites of rhizosphere fungal strain MF‐91 significantly inhibited the conidial germination and appressorium formation of M. grisea. Moreover, the metabolites reduced the disease index of rice sheath blight by 35·02% in a greenhouse and 57·81% in a field as well as reduced the disease index of rice blast by 66·07% in a field. Rhizosphere fungal strain MF‐91 was identified as Chaetomium aureum based on the morphological observation, the analysis of 18S ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer sequence and its physiological characteristics, such as the optimal medium, temperature and initial pH for mycelial growth and sporulation production.Conclusions
Rhizosphere fungus C. aureum is effective in the biocontrolling of rice blast pathogen M. grisea and sheath blight pathogen R. solani both in in vitro and in vivo conditions.Significance and Impact of the Study
This study is the first to show that rhizosphere fungus C. aureum is a potential fungicide against rice blast and sheath blight pathogens. 相似文献20.
Previously, Pseudomonas plecoglossicida YJR13 and Pseudomonas putida YJR92 from a sequential screening procedure were proven to effectively control Phytophthora blight caused by Phytophthora capsici. In this study, we further investigated the anti-oomycete activities of these strains against mycelial growth, zoospore germination, and germ tube elongation of P. capsici. We also investigated root colonization ability of the bacterial strains in square dishes, including cell motility (swimming and swarming motilities) and biofilm formation. Both strains significantly inhibited mycelial growth in liquid and solid V8 juice media and M9 minimal media, zoospore germination, and germ tube elongation compared with Bacillus vallismortis EXTN-1 (positive biocontrol strain), Sphingomonas aquatilis KU408 (negative biocontrol strain), and MgSO4 solution (untreated control). In diluted (nutrient-deficient) V8 juice broth, the tested strain populations were maintained at >108 cells/ml, simultaneously providing mycelial inhibitory activity. Additionally, these strains colonized pepper roots at a 106 cells/ml concentration for 7 days. The root colonization of the strains was supported by strong swimming and swarming activities, biofilm formation, and chemotactic activity towards exudate components (amino acids, organic acids, and sugars) of pepper roots. Collectively, these results suggest that strains YJR13 and YJR92 can effectively suppress Phytophthora blight of pepper through direct anti-oomycete activities against mycelial growth, zoospore germination and germ tube elongation. Bacterial colonization of pepper roots may be mediated by cell motility and biofilm formation together with chemotaxis to root exudates. 相似文献
