Abstract:

Endophytic bacterial strains were isolated from the roots,stems,leaves and fruits of healthy melon plants,and the taxonomic status and optimal fermentation conditions of the excellent antagonistic strains were clarified. The dilution plate coating was applied to isolate endophytic bacteria,and the plate confrontation was used to screen the excellent antagonistic bacteria for Alternaria tenuissima. Identification was conducted via morphology and molecular biology,and the fermentation conditions were optimized through single-factor and orthogonal experiment. The results showed that total 50 strains of endophytic bacteria were isolated,21 strains of them had antagonistic effects against A. tenuissima,and the inhibition rate by 11 strains reached > 70%. Among them,strain G2 had the highest inhibition rate,reaching 76.41%,indoor in vitro prevention effect reached 44.90%. According to the results of morphological characteristics and gene sequence analysis,strain G2 was identified as Bacillus subtilis. The optimal culture conditions of strain G2 were with a medium included 20 g glucose,30 g sodium nitrate,10 g yeast extract in 1 000 mL water. The optimal fermentation conditions were as followed:shaking 50 mL liquid(the best inoculum size was 0.2%)in an 150 mL flask at 150 r/min at 32℃,with an initial pH value of 7.5,and the optimal fermentation time was 18 h. The results may supply new strain resource for the biological control of melon black spot and also provide a basis for the industrial development of melon endophytic bacterium strain G2.
