Abstract
The biological activity of Streptomyces sp. and non-toxicAspergillus fumigatus, along with their metabolites in mono and co-culture, was tested against Colletotrichum acutatum. Additionally, the presence of volatile metabolites was observed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The tomato plants were treated with both Streptomyces sp. and A. fumigatus separately and in combination for in vivo test. Both Streptomyces sp. and A. fumigatus exhibited antifungal activity against C. acutatum. In co-cultivation, metabolites demonstrated 100 % inhibition of the pathogenic fungus. According to GC-MS analysis, 35 compounds were identified from A. fumigatus, and 21 from Streptomyces sp. Co-cultivation of A. fumigatus and Streptomyces sp. induced the biosynthesis of 21 compounds. Most of volatile compounds present at high percentages in co-culture were not detected in the monoculture of each microorganism. The top volatiles in co-culture included acetic acid (25.58 %), furfural (9.89 %), Levulinic acid, methyl ester (7.22 %), dimethadione (6.50 %), benzene acetic acid (6.03 %), and levulinic acid (5.93 %). Significant improvements in shoot height, root length, shoot and root dry weight and the anthracnose disease reduction were observed mainly with the combination of Streptomyces sp. and A. fumigatus. These outcomes support the use of the co-cultivation technique as a viable approach for acquiring beneficial metabolites from microorganisms.
期刊介绍:
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).
In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.
