Casimiro Michel-Aceves, A., M. Antonio Otero-Sanchez, et al. (2009). "In vitro bio<strong>control</strong> of Fusarium subglutinans (Wollenweb. <strong>and</strong> Reinking) Nelson, Toussoun <strong>and</strong> Marasas <strong>and</strong> F. oxysporum Schlecht.,<br />

causal agents of "Witches' broom" of mango (Mangifera indica L.) by Trichoderma spp." Revista Mexicana de Fitopatologia 27(1): 18-26.<br />

The antagonistic effect of native strains of Trichoderma spp. was evaluated in vitro <strong>against</strong> Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) <strong>and</strong> Fusarium subglutinans (Fs), causal agents of mango "witches' broom". Ten<br />

strains of the antagonistic fungus were isolated, one of which was selected <strong>and</strong> identified to the species level (T. harzianum); this species showed the highest percentage of antagonism inhibiting mycelial<br />

growth of Fo by 62.9% <strong>and</strong> 42.0% of Fs. In dual Cultures between Fo <strong>and</strong>/or Fs with the selected strains of Trichoderma, the time for the first contact for Fo was between 3 <strong>and</strong> 4 days, <strong>and</strong> between 2 <strong>and</strong><br />

3 for Fs. The greatest intersection area (0.87 cm) was observed in T. lignorum <strong>against</strong> Fo, while the intersection area in Fs with the native strain Thzn-2 was 0.85 cm. Native strains Thzn-2 <strong>and</strong> Thzcf-12,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the commercial one showed antagonism class 2, being able to stop growth of both plant pathogens. Strain Thzn-2 is promising as an alternative for bio<strong>control</strong> of Fo <strong>and</strong> Fs; however, it is necessary to<br />

evaluate it under field conditions.<br />

Microbiology 45(4): 419-423.<br />

Bacillus subtilis Ch-13 industrial strain was shown to have a wide spectrum of antagonistic activities <strong>against</strong> different species of phytopathogenic fungi <strong>and</strong> bacteria. The B. subtilis Ch-13 strain produces<br />

lytic enzymes; cyanide <strong>and</strong> other antifungal metabolites; stimulates plant growth, producing phytohormones-auxin derivatives. This strain by 2.5 times reduced the quantity of tomato plants infected with<br />

phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum during inoculation. Fungi abundance on roots with bacterial inoculation was 6.9 times less than in the absence of inoculation. The application of detected<br />

antifungal metabolites as biochemical markers for the strain enables to <strong>control</strong> the stability of physiologic <strong>and</strong> biochemical characteristics of the producer, <strong>and</strong> ensures a rapid quality assay of<br />

biopreparations with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).<br />

enhance antagonistic activity <strong>against</strong> Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis (FOM) <strong>and</strong> tolerance to two chemical fungicides. Strain BS14 was identified as a strain of Bacillus subtilis by the analysis of 16S<br />

rDNA sequences. A stable recombinant F35 was obtained after three rounds of shuffling. Antagonistic activity of recombinant F35 <strong>against</strong> FOM was increased by 34.52% <strong>and</strong> 65.48% compared to that<br />

of the parent strain HN8-7 with highest activity <strong>and</strong> another parent strain utilized, BS14. The tolerance to chemical fungicides was also significantly improved (p0.05) compared to that of strain BS14.<br />

Reduction of FOM of 94% was observed by using recombinant F35, which was increased by 45% compared to that of strain BS14 (p0.05) <strong>and</strong> no significant differences (p>0.05) compared to that of<br />

thiophanate methyl (MRL). Reduction of FOM of 100% was dramatically observed by using an integrated treatment combining MRL (50% of usual dosage) with recombinant F35. Strain F35 with these<br />

improved traits would be a promising bio<strong>control</strong> agent in the <strong>control</strong> of FOM. Here genome shuffling was proved to be a practical methodology for strain improvement of antagonistic microorganism<br />

Bacillus subtilis BS14 for enhancing antagonistic activity <strong>against</strong> FOM <strong>and</strong> tolerance to chemical fungicides.<br />

We report the results obtained in <strong>biological</strong> <strong>control</strong> trials <strong>against</strong> crown <strong>and</strong> root rot of tomato incited by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis lycopersici by using microorganisms isolated from soilless<br />

cultivation systems that showed suppressiveness <strong>against</strong> this disease. Among the tested microorganisms belonging to fluorescent bacteria (32 isolates) <strong>and</strong> to fungi belonging to Trichoderma (39 isolates)<br />

<strong>and</strong> Fusarium (38 isolated), 5 bacteria <strong>and</strong> 6 fungi showed a good activity <strong>against</strong> the pathogen. Such strains will be used in greenhouse trials, under situations closer to the field, in order to evaluate their<br />

potential to be adopted under practical conditions.<br />

Mexico." Revista Mexicana de Fitopatologia 27(1): 27-35.<br />

The antagonistic activity in vitro of microorganisms isolated from chickpea rhizosphere, was evaluated <strong>against</strong> Fusarium oxysporum, Sclerotium rolfsii, <strong>and</strong> Rhizoctonia solani, causal agents of chickpea<br />

wilt. The native strains with the higher percentage of pathogen mycelial growth inhibition were selected <strong>and</strong> identified as Trichoderma lignorum (CIAD 06-540903), T. harzianum (CIAD 05-550903),<br />

Bacillus subtilis (CIAD-940111), <strong>and</strong> Pseudomonas fluorescens (CIAD-990111). These strains <strong>and</strong> a commercial strain of T. harzianum (T-22) were mixed with Glomus intraradices <strong>and</strong> their<br />

effectiveness to reduce chickpea wilt was compared <strong>against</strong> a chemical treatment (PCNB) <strong>and</strong> all absolute <strong>control</strong> in the field. The seed was treated with the microorganisms before sowing <strong>and</strong><br />

evaluations of disease severity were conducted each 15 days, while root colonization by the antagonistic microorganisms was assessed 45 days after sowing. Colonization of T, harzianum CIAD 05-<br />

550903 + G. infraradices was 33 x 10(3) ufc/g fresh root-75% <strong>and</strong> B. subtilis + G. intraradices was 1.3 x 10(8) Ufc/g fresh root-75%; while the combination P.fluorescens + G. intraradices was 1.4 x<br />

10(7) Ufc/g fresh root-88%. These treatments also showed a reduction of disease severity in 64, 57, <strong>and</strong> 51%, respectively in comparison with the <strong>control</strong>.<br />
