The genus of Streptomyces, a saprophytic Gram-positive bacterium, has properties, which make them useful as pharmaceutical <strong>and</strong> bio<strong>control</strong> agents. A streptomyces strain MY02 from soil samples<br />

showed significant antagonism <strong>against</strong> 14 plant pathogenic fungi including Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumarinum. Antifungal metabolite(s) SN06 from the culture of the strain MY02 were extracted<br />

with n-butanol <strong>and</strong> purified by silica gel column chromatography. The minimum concentration of SN06 inhibiting any visible fungal growth of F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumarinum is 12.5 mu g/ml by<br />

twofold serial dilutions method. The mycelia of F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumarinum treated with SN06 were observed under the normal optics microscope. The results showed that some cells of hyphae<br />

began to dilate <strong>and</strong> formed some strings of beads. The cytoplasm oozed out of the cells with the culture time <strong>and</strong> so most of the cells became empty. The hyphae broke into many segments <strong>and</strong> then<br />

collapsed after 48 h. After inoculated in potato dextrose medium for 48 h, the filtrate of mycelia treated with 1% NaCl containing 12.5 mu g/ml SN06 was scanned using ultraviolet spectrophotometer<br />

<strong>and</strong> absorption peak at 260 nm showed that the mycelia cell membrane of F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumarinum was broken <strong>and</strong> that nucleic acid oozed out of the cell.<br />

Objectives: The rhizobacteria Bacillus sphaericus B43, Pseudomonas fluorescens T58, <strong>and</strong> P. putida 53 are able to induce systemic resistance (ISR) <strong>against</strong> Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (FOL)<br />

in tomato. This study investigated if the ISR reduced the damage by the toxin fusaric acid (FA) produced by FOL. Methodology <strong>and</strong> Results: The bacteria were applied to the rhizosphere of tomato<br />

plants. Chlorophyll content <strong>and</strong> ion leakage were determined after placing the leaf discs in FA. Active oxygen species (AOS), superoxide <strong>and</strong> hydrogen peroxide levels were determined in leaves of<br />

plants injected with FA. Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate (AS) <strong>and</strong> guaiacol peroxidases (GPX) involved in AOS metabolism were quantified. In untreated plants, FA led to high ion<br />

leakage <strong>and</strong> chlorophyll degradation caused by H2O2 accumulation. All the bacteria treatments decreased the chlorophyll degradation. Ion leakage was reduced by treatment with P. fluorescens T58 <strong>and</strong><br />

B. sphaericus B43, while P. putida 53 was less effective. Treatment of plants with bacteria resulted in increased superoxide contents, but varying over time. Increased SOD <strong>and</strong> GPX activities in untreated<br />

plants were suppressed after bacteria treatment. Plants treated with P. fluorescens T58 showed only a transient increase in superoxide. P. putida 53-treated plants removed AOS, but high initial superoxide<br />

levels led to membrane damages. Treatment with B. sphaericus B43 suppressed the effects of FA, but AOS metabolism showed only slight alterations. Conclusions <strong>and</strong> potential applications of findings:<br />

ISR could also protect plant tissues from damage by pathogen toxins, which is a potential new dimension to the known mechanisms of action of <strong>biological</strong> <strong>control</strong> agents.<br />

nurseries." Journal of the Science of Food <strong>and</strong> Agriculture 89(11): 1843-1850.<br />

BACKGROUND: Biological <strong>control</strong> through the use of Trichoderma spp. <strong>and</strong> arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) could contribute to a reduction of the inputs of environmentally damaging<br />

agrochemical products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interactions between four AMF (Glomus intraradices, Glomus mosseae, Glomus claroideum <strong>and</strong> Glomus constrictum) <strong>and</strong><br />

Trichoderma harzianum for their effects on melon plant growth <strong>and</strong> bio<strong>control</strong> of Fusarium wilt in seedling nurseries. RESULTS: AMF colonisation decreased fresh plant weight, which was unaffected<br />

by the presence of T. harzianum. Dual inoculation resulted in a decrease in fresh weight compared with AMF-inoculated plants, except for G. intraradices. AMF colonisation level varied with the AM<br />

endophyte <strong>and</strong> was increased by T. harzianum, except in G. mosseae-inoculated plants. Negative effects of AMF on T. harzianum colony-forming units were found, except with G. intraradices. AMF<br />

alone were less effective than T. harzianum in suppressing disease development. Combined inoculation resulted in a general synergistic effect on disease <strong>control</strong>. CONCLUSION: Selection of the<br />

appropriate AMF species <strong>and</strong> its combination with T. harzioanum were significant both in the formation <strong>and</strong> effectiveness of AM symbiosis <strong>and</strong> the reduction of Fusarium wilt incidence in melon plants.<br />

The combination of G. intraradices <strong>and</strong> T. harzianum provided better results than any other tested. (C) 2009 Society of Chemical Industry<br />

subtilis isolates (B1 to B14), obtained from different Egyptian sites, were tested <strong>against</strong> six fungal isolates belonging to four different genera, Rhizoctonia solani, Helminthosporium spp., Alternaria spp.<br />

<strong>and</strong> Fusarium oxysporum. Cultural, morphological <strong>and</strong> physiological characteristics of these isolates were found to be identical to B. subtilis. Four B. subtilis isolates (B1, B4, B7, B8) had more<br />

antagonistic effect on all fungal isolates. Supernatant of B. subtilis isolate B7 had antagonistic effect on 6 fungal isolates but it was more effective on Helminthosporium spp., Alternaria spp. <strong>and</strong> F.<br />

oxysporum. B. subtilis as well as isolate B7 showed effectiveness in reducing disease incidence <strong>and</strong> severity levels of tomato plants when added to the F. oxysporum <strong>and</strong> R. solani-infested soil. Also, it<br />

stimulated the growth of tomato plants compared to the other. HPLC analysis of the HCl precipitate of B.subtilis isolate B7 culture supernatant revealed that an identical pattern of five peaks to that of a<br />

purified preparation of iturin A was obtained.<br />

isolate G-GANA7 (GenBank accession No. EF583053), collected from Abo-Homos in Egypt, was tested <strong>against</strong> six fungal isolates belonging to four different genera, i.e. Rhizoctonia solani,<br />

Helminthosporium sp., Alternaria sp. <strong>and</strong> Fusarium oxysporum. B. subtilis isolate G-GANA7 was cultured in 3 litre bench-top New Brunswick Scientific BioFlow III bioreactor for producing the<br />

maximum yield of biomass <strong>and</strong> antifungal compound. Fed-batch processes were automated through a computer aided data bioprocessing system AFS-BioComm<strong>and</strong> multi-process management program<br />
