Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to explore the diversity of endophytic bacteria in Pinus massoniana,and to search for endophytic bacteria with nematicidal activity against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. With 58 endophytic bacteria isolated from healthy P. massoniana in Nanjing Zhongshan Mausoleum as the research object,and the nematicidal activity against B. xylophilus of endophytic bacteria in fermentation filtrate was determined by immersion method. The species of endophytic bacteria with high nematicidal activity against B. xylophilus were identified by morphological observation,physiological and biochemical characteristics,16S rDNA sequence and phylogenetic tree methods. An endophytic bacterium NZM13-11 was selected with obvious nematicidal activity against B. xylophilus. The adjusted mortality rate of B. xylophilus reached 92.2% after mixing the fermented filtrate of NZM13-11 with B. xylophilus for 12 h,and reached 100% after 36 h. In addition,the body of B. xylophilus was decomposed at 12 h,the decomposition rate reached 85%. After 48 h,the decomposition rate reached 100%,and there was no complete body under the microscope. After the fermentation filtrate was diluted at different multiples,the mortality rate was still as high as 72.9% after 36 h of 8-fold dilution treatment.The strain NZM13-11 was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by morphological observation,physiological and biochemical characterization,16S rDNA sequence and phylogenetic tree analysis. This study shows that an endophytic bacterium NZM13-11 screened from p P. massoniana trees can efficiently kill B. xylophilus,and the strain is identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This research results can be further deepened to explore the possibility of using endophytic bacteria resources of P. massoniana to prevent and control pine wilt diseases.
