of tomato wilt pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici <strong>and</strong> was found significantly superior over the rest of fungicides. While, among the <strong>biological</strong> agents Trichoderma viride was found<br />

significantly superior to the rest in checking the growth of pathogens <strong>and</strong> showed 85.69 per cent inhibition. In vivo under field condition, seedling dip treatment of Carbendazim (1 gl-1 water) was found<br />

most significant followed by Carbendazim+ T.viride (1+100 gl-1 water) <strong>and</strong> T. viride (100 gl-1 water) significantly reduced wilt incidence by 73.91, 69.56 <strong>and</strong> 68.11 per cent respectively as <strong>against</strong><br />

71.88 per cent wilting in <strong>control</strong> (under epiphytotic condition i.e. wilt sick soil).<br />

We aimed at determining the antagonistic behavior of bacteria derived from marine biofilms <strong>against</strong> terrestrial phytopathogenic fungi. Some bacteria closely related to Bacillus mojavensis (three isolates)<br />

<strong>and</strong> Bacillus firmus (one isolate) displayed antagonistic activity <strong>against</strong> Colletotrichum gloeosporioides ATCC 42374, selected as first screen organism. The four isolates were further quantitatively tested<br />

<strong>against</strong> C. gloeosporioides, Colletotrichum fragariae, <strong>and</strong> Fusarium oxysporum on two culture media, potato dextrose agar (PDA) <strong>and</strong> a marine medium-based agar [yeast extract agar (YEA)] at different<br />

times of growth of the antagonists (early, co-inoculation with the pathogen <strong>and</strong> late). Overall antagonistic assays showed differential susceptibility among the pathogens as a function of the type of culture<br />

media <strong>and</strong> time of colonization (P < 0.05). In general, higher suppressive activities were recorded for assays performed on YEA than on PDA; <strong>and</strong> also when the antagonists were allowed to grow 24 h<br />

earlier than the pathogen. F. oxysporum was the most resistant fungus while the most sensitive was C. gloeosporioides ATCC 42374. Significant differences in antagonistic activity (P < 0.05) were found<br />

between the different isolates. In general, Bacillus sp. MC3B-22 displayed a greater antagonistic effect than the commercial bio<strong>control</strong> strain Bacillus subtilis G03 (KodiakA (R)). Further incubation<br />

studies <strong>and</strong> scanning electronic microscopy revealed that Bacillus sp. MC3B-22 was able to colonize, multiply, <strong>and</strong> inhibit C. gloeosporioides ATCC 42374 when tested in a mango leaf assay, showing<br />

its potential for fungal bio<strong>control</strong>. Additional studies are required to definitively identify the active isolates <strong>and</strong> to determine their mode of antifungal action, safety, <strong>and</strong> biocompatibility.<br />

udid, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), groundnut <strong>and</strong> mung bean <strong>and</strong> <strong>biological</strong> <strong>control</strong> agents (Trichoderma viride, T. harzianum, T lignorum <strong>and</strong> T. koningii) <strong>against</strong> the chickpea wilt pathogen, Fusarium<br />

oxysporum f.sp. ciceris (FOC), was studied in the laboratory. A lower radial mycelial growth <strong>and</strong> a higher inhibitory effect were recorded in sorghum root extract medium (28.00 mm <strong>and</strong> 54.34%),<br />

respectively, however, it was at par with groundnut root extract medium (30.00 mm <strong>and</strong> 51.08%), compared to the <strong>control</strong> (61.33 mm). In dual culture technique, the growth of FOC was restricted by T.<br />

viride (56.16%), followed by T. harzianum (50.57%). T. lignorum recorded the minimum zone of inhibition (40.45%).<br />

samples, <strong>and</strong> 8 of these strains showed significant activities <strong>against</strong> F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense. One actinomycete (DA07408) isolated from an arboretum in Danzhou, Hainan, China, exhibited marked<br />

antagonism towards F. oxysporum f.sp. cubense. The conditions for the fermentation of the actinomycete were optimized. Based on the morphological, physiological <strong>and</strong> biochemical characteristics of<br />

the strain, <strong>and</strong> on the analysis of 16S rDNA <strong>and</strong> phylogenetic tree, DA07408 was identified as Streptomyces olivochromogenes.<br />

Sixteen Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains were screened for their anti-insect, antibacterial <strong>and</strong> antifungal determinants by phenotypic tests <strong>and</strong> PCR targeting major insecticidal proteins <strong>and</strong> complements,<br />

chitinases, lactonases, beta-1,3-glucanases <strong>and</strong> zwittermicin A. Six strains had genes of at least two major insecticidal toxins <strong>and</strong> of insecticidal complements. With regard to fungal bio<strong>control</strong>, all the<br />

strains inhibited Fusarium oxysporum <strong>and</strong> Aspergillus flavus growth <strong>and</strong> four strains had all or most of the antifungal determinants examined, with strain Bt HD932 showing the widest antifungal activity<br />

spectrum. Autolysins, bacteriocin <strong>and</strong> AHL-lactonases were produced by all or most of the tested strains with different activity spectra including pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes. Safety evaluation<br />

was carried out via PCR by screening the B. cereus psychrotolerance-related genes, toxin genes <strong>and</strong> the virulence pleiotropic regulator plcR. Diarrheal enterotoxins <strong>and</strong> other toxin genes were widespread<br />

among the collection with strains Bt HD9 <strong>and</strong> H45 lacking psychrotolerance-related genes, while five strains were positive. Only three strains (BMG1.7, H172, H156) resulted positive with primer sets<br />

targeting partial or complete plcR gene. By Vero Cell Assays, Bt HD868 followed by Bt HD9 were shown to be the safest strains. These polyvalent <strong>and</strong> safe Bt strains could be very promising in field<br />

application.<br />

resistant (ICP 8863) <strong>and</strong> resistant (BDN2) cultivars of pigeon pea were screened <strong>against</strong> Fusarium oxysporum f. udum [F. udum]. The inoculation of endophytic antagonists into different cultivars of<br />

pigeon pea improved germination, plant height, branching, nodulation, root length <strong>and</strong> biomass production, <strong>and</strong> reduced wilt intensity significantly over the un-inoculated <strong>control</strong>. Among the inoculants,<br />

Pseudomonas-2 was the most beneficial, followed by Pseudomonas-3, Bacillus-3, Pseudomonas-1, <strong>and</strong> Bacillus-1 <strong>and</strong> -2. Antagonists isolated from resistant cultivar were the most beneficial, followed<br />

by antagonists from the moderately resistant cultivar, <strong>and</strong> antagonists isolated from the susceptible cultivar.<br />
