Abstract:

Previous studies revealed that two stains Bacillus amyloliquefaciens md8 and md9 have strong antagonism to Fusarium solani causing tree peony root rot;however,the components of antimicrobial substances are not clear yet. First,the biosynthesis gene fragments of 3 lipopeptides were identified. Acid precipitation and the Sephadex gel chromatography column were used to separate and purify the antimicrobial substances. Then Oxford Cup method was adapted to detect the inhibitory activity of the crude lipopeptides and separation components. RT-qPCR was employed to detect the expression variations of lipopetide biosynthesis genes in the strains md8 and md9 during inhibiting F. solani process in the dual culture. And finally MALDI-TOF-MS technique was used to analyze the types of antimicrobial substances. The results showed that the crude lipopeptide extracts and separation components via Sephadex gel chromatography had favorable effect against the pathogen of root rot. The RT-qPCR results indicated that gene ituD of md8 and md9 for iturin biosynthesis was constantly expressed in high amounts throughout the antagonism. The gene fenA for fengycin biosynthesis were up-regulated when md8 and md9 were confronted with F. solani. The MALDI-TOF-MS results further verified that iturin B and bacillomycin D were the main antimicrobial components of md8 and md9 against F. solani. Combined with RT-qPCR results,it was speculated that iturin produced by the strains md8 and md9 played an important role in the inhibitory effect on F. solani.
