Abstract:Abstract

Our objective was to determine the suppressive abilities of bacterial metabolites derived from Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus spp. on Glomerella cingulata, Phomopsis sp., Phytophthora cactorum, and Fusicladosporium effusum, which are fungal or oomycete pathogens of pecan, and Monilinia fructicola, a fungal pathogen of peach. In the first set of in vitro assays, when metabolites were compared based on initial bacterial cell count, X. bovienii (SN) metabolites generally exhibited the greatest suppression of phytopathogens and Xenorhabdus sp. (355) the least with Photorhabdus luminescens (Hb) and Xenorhabdus nematophila (All) being intermediate. In a second set of in vitro assays, in which metabolites were compared at 50 mg per ml acetone, P. luminescens (VS) exhibited greater suppression than P. luminescens (Hb), Photorhabdus sp. (MX4), X. bovienii (SN), and Xenorhabdus sp. (3 – 8b). In in vivo tests, 6 or 12% dilutions of X. bovienii (SN) or P. luminescens (Hb) metabolites caused 90 – 100% suppression of P. cactorum lesions on pecan leaves with only slight phytotoxicity. No phytotoxic effects were observed in detached peach leaves at dilutions up to 25%. Metabolite treatments, derived from X. bovienii (SN) and P. luminescens (Hb), were also tested for suppression of F. effusum sporulation in detached pecan shoots. Reductions in sporulation caused by bacterial metabolites were similar to those following treatment with two chemical fungicides, dodine and fenbuconazole; a third chemical triphenyltin hydroxide had no effect. Further research is warranted to determine if fungal or oomycete incited diseases in pecan and peach can be controlled with metabolites of Xenorhabdus spp. and Photorhabdus spp.
