Abstract:

Bacillus sp. are a group of important biocontrol agents for the management of plant disease. In order to search for excellent Bacillus strain for vegetable root knot nematode,62 Bacillus sp. were isolated from the suppression soil of root knot nematode. The mortality of the second stage juvenile and the inhibition of egg hatch by the fermentation filtrates of the strains were conducted to primarily screen biocontrol strains,and pot experiments were used to determine the control effects of biocontrol strains. Results demonstrated that treatments with bactreial suspensions of strains NB-04 reduced root-knot index by 61.6%. Further based on morphological characteristics and 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis,strain NB-04 was identified as Bacillus methylotrophicus. To preliminary study the biocontrol mechanism of NB-04,the influence of fermention filtrates on M. incognita egg catalase,acetylcholinesterase,carboxylesterase,and the content of egg total sugar and protein were determined. The results showed that the activity of egg catalase,acetylcholinesterase,and carboxylesterase decreased significantly,as well as the content of total sugar and protein significantly declined. This study provides the basis for the research and development of bio-nematicide.

Key words: Meloidogyne incognita, biological control, Bacillus methylotrophicus, biocontrol mechanism
