Recep, K., S. Fikrettin, et al. (2009). "Biological <strong>control</strong> of the potato dry rot caused by Fusarium species using PGPR strains." Biological Control 50(2): 194-198.<br />

In this study, a total of 17 Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains, consisting of eight different species (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pumilus, Burkholderia cepacia, Pseudomonas putida,<br />

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus atrophaeus, Bacillus macerans <strong>and</strong> Flavobacter balastinium), were tested for antifungal activity in in vitro (on Petri plate) <strong>and</strong> in vivo (on potato tuber) conditions<br />

<strong>against</strong> Fusarium sambucinum, Fusarium oxysporum <strong>and</strong> Fusarium culmorum cause of dry rot disease of potato. All PGPR strains had inhibitory effects on the development of at least one or more fungal<br />

species on Petri plates. The strongest antagonism was observed in B. cepacia strain OSU-7 with inhibition zones ranging from 35.33 to 47.37 mm. All PGPR strains were also tested on tubers of two<br />

potato cultivars 'Agria' <strong>and</strong> 'Granola' under storage conditions. Only B. cepacia strain OSU-7 had significant effects on <strong>control</strong>ling potato dry rot caused by three different fungi species on the two potato<br />

cultivars. There were no significant differences in rot diameters among the treatments in comparison to the negative <strong>control</strong> (with water). This is the first study showing that B. cepacia has great potential<br />

to be used as effective bio<strong>control</strong> agent of Fusanium dry rot of potatoes (F. oxysporum <strong>and</strong> F culmorum) under storage conditions. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.<br />

Field <strong>and</strong> pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of co-cultivation <strong>and</strong> crop rotation on the growth <strong>and</strong> corm rot disease of gladiolus (Gladiolus gr<strong>and</strong>iflorus sect. Bl<strong>and</strong>us) cv. Aarti caused<br />

by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. gladioli (Massey) Snyd. <strong>and</strong> Hans. In the field experiment, gladiolus was co-cultivated with 10 agricultural/horticultural crops viz. Allium cepa L., Brassica campestris L.,<br />

Capsicum annuum L., Eruca sativa Mill., Helianthus annuus L., Tagetes erectus L., Zea mays L., Vinca rosea L. <strong>and</strong> Rosa indica L., in a soil infested with F. oxysporum. All the crops except V. rosea <strong>and</strong><br />

R. indica reduced disease incidence. The effect of H. annuus <strong>and</strong> T. erectus was significant <strong>and</strong> more pronounced than other co-cultivated crops. In general, root <strong>and</strong> shoot dry biomass, corm fresh weight,<br />

number of cormlets <strong>and</strong> number of flowers per spike decreased as compared to the un-inoculated monoculture gladiolus treatment (negative <strong>control</strong>) but these parameters enhanced as compared to the F.<br />

oxysporum inoculated monoculture gladiolus treatment (positive <strong>control</strong>). In a pot experiment, all the crops of the field experiment except V. rosea <strong>and</strong> R. indica were sown in rotation with gladiolus. Pot<br />

grown plants of different species were harvested at maturity <strong>and</strong> the soil was inoculated with F oxysporum. Gladiolus was cultivated I week after inoculation. Disease incidence was significantly<br />

suppressed in all the treatments ranging from 29% to 53%. The highest suppression of disease incidence was recorded in T erectus (53%) followed by B. campestris (49%). The effect of preceding crops<br />

on various vegetative parameters was similar in the pot experiment to that of the field experiment. The present study suggests that corm rot disease of gladiolus can be managed by mixed cropping of H.<br />

annuus <strong>and</strong> T erectus or cultivation of T. erectus <strong>and</strong> B. campestris in rotation. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.<br />

Saidi, N., S. Kouki, et al. (2009). "Characterization <strong>and</strong> selection of Bacillus sp strains, effective bio<strong>control</strong> agents <strong>against</strong> Fusarium oxysporum f. sp radicis-lycopersici, the causal agent of Fusarium crown<br />

<strong>and</strong> root rot in tomato." Annals of Microbiology 59(2): 191-198.<br />

The antagonistic activities of 20 Bacillus isolates were tested with dual culture <strong>and</strong> greenhouse conditions <strong>against</strong> Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL) race 0, the causal agent of<br />

Fusarium crown <strong>and</strong> root rot of tomato. Under dual culture, 10 isolates inhibited mycelial growth > 38% <strong>and</strong> the most effective inhibited fungal growth > 50%. The 20 Bacillus isolates were tested for<br />

production of volatiles, cyanide, antibiotics, <strong>and</strong> phosphorus solubilisation; 15 isolates produced volatiles that inhibited growth of pathogens, 9 isolates produced cyanide, 10 produced antibiotics, <strong>and</strong> five<br />

solubilised phosphorus. Greenhouse experiments with the same 20 isolates revealed the effectiveness of 12 strains, which increased the percentage of healthy plants in the tested cultivar from 66 to 96%.<br />

The best disease <strong>control</strong> was achieved by isolates B11, B5, B17, <strong>and</strong> B18. However, B11 <strong>and</strong> B17 were the only isolates that produced cyanide, antibiotics, solubilised phosphate <strong>and</strong> showed 44%<br />

inhibition of fungal growth. The selected strains could be considered in plant growth promotion <strong>and</strong> <strong>biological</strong> disease <strong>control</strong>.<br />

Shi, Y. W., K. Lou, et al. (2009). "Isolation, quantity distribution <strong>and</strong> characterization of endophytic microorganisms within sugar beet." African Journal of Biotechnology 8(5): 835-840.<br />

The present investigation was undertaken in order to document the spectrum of endophytes colonizing healthy leaves of sugar beet cultivars in Xinjiang Province ( China) <strong>and</strong> to determine the degree of<br />

colonization at three growth stages. From the 360 sugar beet leaf <strong>and</strong> root segments incubated, 221 bacterial isolates, 34 fungal isolates <strong>and</strong> 5 actinomycete isolates were obtained. Of all the isolates, 7<br />

bacterial species <strong>and</strong> 6 fungal species were identified. The actinomycete isolates were characterized as Streptomyces griseofuscus <strong>and</strong> Streptomyces globisporus. There were significant differences<br />

between microorganisms, stages of growth, <strong>and</strong> stages of microorganism interaction. The number of microorganisms isolated increased during the growth period of the sugar beet. At the same time, the<br />

number of microorganisms affecting different parts of the sugar beet tissue was quite different. The greatest number of microorganisms was found in the secondary root emergence zone of the sugar beet<br />

tissue. Endophytic microorganisms in sugar beet promote growth <strong>and</strong> increase the yield of the beet.<br />

fungus." Journal of Applied Microbiology 107(2): 524-532.<br />

Paenibacillus strains <strong>against</strong> disease complex caused by Meloidogyne incognita <strong>and</strong> Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici interactions. Methods <strong>and</strong> Results: Paenibacillus strains were collected from<br />

rotten ginseng roots. The strains were tested under in vitro <strong>and</strong> pots for their inhibitory activities, <strong>and</strong> bio<strong>control</strong> potential <strong>against</strong> disease complex caused by M. incognita <strong>and</strong> F. oxysporum f. sp.<br />

lycopersici on tomato. In in vitro experiments, among 40 tested strains of Paenibacillus spp., 11 strains showed antifungal <strong>and</strong> nematicidal activities <strong>against</strong> F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici <strong>and</strong> M.<br />
