Abstract
Bulb rot of lily (Lilium brownii var. viridulum), caused by Fusarium commune, is a serious soilborne disease of lily plants. In this study, several bacterial isolates were obtained from the rhizosphere of healthy lily plants and evaluated for biocontrol potential. Among the obtained isolates, GX1 had the highest level of antifungal activity in vitro, inhibiting the growth of F. commune by 52.0 %, relative to the control (CK). The isolate was identified as Bacillus velezensis based on its morphology and 16S rRNA and gyrB gene sequence analysis. The fermentation broth of GX1 after 12 d of fermentation at 25 °C (pH 7) exhibited strong antifungal activity. A crude lipopeptide extracts of GX1 fermentation broth was as effective (50.3 %) at inhibiting the mycelial growth of F. commune as living cultures of GX1. GX1 possesses fenD, bmyB, srfAA and bacA antimicrobial peptide (AMP) genes, which may be the primary source of its antifungal activity. GX1 significantly reduced the disease severity index of lily bulb rot in pot experiments, indicating that B. velezensis GX1 has substantial potential for the biological control of lily bulb rot.
期刊介绍:
Biological control is an environmentally sound and effective means of reducing or mitigating pests and pest effects through the use of natural enemies. The aim of Biological Control is to promote this science and technology through publication of original research articles and reviews of research and theory. The journal devotes a section to reports on biotechnologies dealing with the elucidation and use of genes or gene products for the enhancement of biological control agents.
The journal encompasses biological control of viral, microbial, nematode, insect, mite, weed, and vertebrate pests in agriculture, aquatic, forest, natural resource, stored product, and urban environments. Biological control of arthropod pests of human and domestic animals is also included. Ecological, molecular, and biotechnological approaches to the understanding of biological control are welcome.
