Abstract:

This work aims to investigate the control effects of the biocontrol bacterium Bacillus subtilis Ya-1 on pepper Fusarium wilt and its effect on rhizosphere soil fungal community and diversity after pepper is infected by Fusarium oxysporum. B. subtilis Ya-1 was used as inoculum to investigate its control effect on pepper Fusarium wilt, and high-throughput sequencing was used to study the changes of rhizosphere soil fungal community by F. oxysporum infection between before inoculation and at 10 d and 20 d after inoculation. Compared with FOC treatment(C), the control effects of Ya-1+FOC(D)at day 10 and day 20 were 77.93% and 77.26%, respectively. The fungal α diversity of B. subtilis Ya-1 and F. oxysporum capsicum groups was higher than that of F. oxysporum group at day 10 and day 20. The composition of fungal community changed significantly after treatment. At the same time, the fungal community of the treatment group and the control group were significantly different, and the fungal community of the FOC and Ya-1+FOC treatment were also significantly different(P< 0.05). The dominant fungal populations in all treatments were Ascomycota, Zygomycota and Basidiomycota. At day 10 and day 20, the relative abundance of inoculated pathogens(OTU_1)was significantly different between FOC and Ya-1+FOC treatment. The total relative abundance of Mortierella increased and OTU_1 decreased at day 10 and day 20, respectively. Compared with the control group, the number of nodes decreased after inoculation with Fusarium wilt, while the number of positive junctions decreased after treated with B. subtilis Ya-1. B. subtilis Ya-1 treatment had a promising control effect on pepper Fusarium wilt, while it also changed the diversity and structure of rhizosphere fungal community and reduced the complexity of fungal community and abundance of pathogenic bacteria in rhizosphere soil.
