Abstract: | Bacteria inhibitory to Moniliniaoxycocci, the cranberry cotton ball pathogen, were identified. Eighty-three bacteria isolated from a cranberry marsh and Erwinia herbicola C9-1,which is being developed elsewhere for the biological control of fire blight of pome fruits, were tested fortheir ability to inhibit radial growth and conidial germination of M. oxycocci in vitro. IsolateBA35 from cranberry (tentatively identified as Pseudomonas syringae pv. morsprunorum) and E. herbicola C9-1 completely inhibited radial growth of M. oxycocci. BA35 and C9-1 were among the most effective of 21 bacteria tested for inhibition of conidial germination. Growth of bacteria in sclerotial extracts of M. oxycocci and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was determined in order to select isolates that might be successful in degradingsclerotia, thereby reducing the viability of M.oxycocci. Populations of isolates 62 and S-18(identities unknown), and S-19 (tentatively identified as Micrococcus luteus), increased approximately3.0--5.0 log10 units in all extracts within 24 h. Populations of isolate S-10 increased by about 3.5log10 units in all sclerotial extracts within 48 h. Populations of isolate S-49 (identity unknown)were lower in extracts of M. oxycocci than S. sclerotiorum after 48-h. In buffer controls, bacterial populations remained stable or decreased over the 48-h period. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
