The tetrahydropahnatine alkaloid was assayed against spore germination of some saprophytic and pathogenic fungi e.g., Alternaria solani, A. brassicicola, A. brassicae, A. alternata, Erysiphe pisi, Curvularia lunata, C. pallescens, C. maculans, Curvularia species, Colletotrichum species, C. musae, Helminthosporium echinoclova, H. pennisetti, H. spiciferum, and Heterosporium sp. It inhibite spore germination of all the fungi tested. Colletotrichum spp. Curvularia lunata, Helminthosporium spiciferum and Heterosporium sp. were most sensitive as complete inhibition of spore germination was observed at very low concentration(200 ppm).

실내 장식용 드라세나 산데리아의 줄기에 발생한 괴사 병징으로부터 탄저병원균을 확인하였다. 분생자층 위에 분생포자, 강모 및 자낭각이 관찰되었다 분생포자는 무색, 단포, 정부는 약간 둥글고 기부는 굵고 원통형 또는 약간 타원형으로 크기는 12.5-17.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 강모는 격막이 1~4 개 존재하며, 기부세포가 특징적으로 팽대되고 크기는 200 $\mu\textrm{m}$였다 부착기는 암갈색, 난형으로 크기는 5-12.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$이며, 괴사된 줄기상의 자낭각은 구형, 암갈색 또는 검은색으로 크기는 85-300 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 자낭은 곤봉형 또는 원통형이며 크기는 50-62.5$\times$8-10 $\mu\textrm{m}$로서 8개의 자낭포자를 형성하였다. 자낭포자는 타원형 또는 굽은 방추형이었다. 이 균의 불완전세대의 특징을 C. musae와 C. lindemuthianum과 비교하여 Glomerella cingulata(C. gloeosporioides)로 동정하였다.

The Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex includes many phytopathogenic species, causing anthracnose disease on a wide range of host plants and appearing to be globally distributed. Seventy-one Colletotrichum isolates in the complex from different plants and geographic regions in Korea were preserved in the Korean Agricultural Culture Collection (KACC). Most of them had been identified based on hosts and morphological features, this could lead to inaccurate species names. Therefore, the KACC isolates were re-identified using DNA sequence analyses of six loci, comprising internal transcribed spacer, gapdh, chs-1, his3, act, and tub2 in this study. Based on the combined phylogenetic analysis, KACC strains were assigned to 12 known species and three new species candidates. The detected species are C. siamense (n = 20), C. fructicola (n = 19), C. gloeosporioides (n = 9), C. aenigma (n = 5), C. camelliae (n = 3), C. temperatum (n = 3), C. musae (n = 2), C. theobromicola (n = 2), C. viniferum (n = 2), C. alatae (n = 1), C. jiangxiense (n = 1), and C. yulongense (n = 1). Of these, C. jiangxiense, C. temperatum, C. theobromicola and C. yulongense are unrecorded species in Korea. Host plant comparisons showed that 27 fungus-host associations are newly reported in the country. However, plant-fungus interactions need to be investigated by pathogenicity tests.

Recently, strategies for controlling Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol), the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of tomato, focus on using effective biocontrol agents. In this study, an analysis of the biocontrol and plant growth promoting (PGP) attributes of 11 isolates of loamy soil Bacillus spp. has been conducted. Among them, the isolates B.PNR1 and B.PNR2 inhibited the mycelial growth of Fol by inducing abnormal fungal cell wall structures and cell wall collapse. Moreover, broad-spectrum activity against four other plant pathogenic fungi, F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 1 (Foc), Sclerotium rolfsii, Colletotrichum musae, and C. gloeosporioides were noted for these isolates. These two Bacillus isolates produced indole acetic acid, phosphate solubilization enzymes, and amylolytic and cellulolytic enzymes. In the pot experiment, the culture filtrate from B.PNR1 showed greater inhibition of the fungal pathogens and significantly promoted the growth of tomato plants more than those of the other treatments. Isolate B.PNR1, the best biocontrol and PGP, was identified as Bacillus stercoris by its 16S rRNA gene sequence and whole genome sequencing analysis (WGS). The WGS, through genome mining, confirmed that the B.PNR1 genome contained genes/gene cluster of a nonribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthase, such as fengycin, surfactin, bacillaene, subtilosin A, bacilysin, and bacillibactin, which are involved in antagonistic and PGP activities. Therefore, our finding demonstrates the effectiveness of B. stercoris strain B.PNR1 as an antagonist and for plant growth promotion, highlighting the use of this microorganism as a biocontrol agent against the Fusarium wilt pathogen and PGP abilities in tomatoes.
