Abstract: | Thirty-seven actinomycete species isolated from fertile cultivated soils in Egypt were screened for the production of antimicrobial
compounds against a variety of test organisms. Most of the isolates exhibited antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive,
Gram-negative, and acid-fast bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi, with special attention to fungal and bacterial pathogens
of tomato. On starch-nitrate agar, 14 strains were active againstFusarium oxysporum f.sp.lycopersici (the cause ofFusarium wilt), 18 againstVerticillium albo-atrum (the cause ofVerticillium wilt), and 18 againstAlternaria solani (the cause of early blight). In liquid media, 14 isolates antagonizedPseudomonas solanacearum (the cause of bacterial wilt) and 20 antagonizedClavibacter michiganensis ssp.michiganensis (the cause of bacterial canker). The most active antagonists of the pathogenic microorganisms studied were found to beStreptomyces pulcher, S. canescens (syn.S. albidoflavus) andS. citreofluorescens (syn.S. anulatus). The antagonistic activities ofS. pulcher andS. citreofluorescens against pathogenic bacteria in liquid media under shaking conditions. The optimum culture conditions were determined. |
