  • Pseudomonas fluorescens ps88 was isolated from the rhizosphere soil produced the secondary metabolite called siderophore under iron Limited conditions. On iron limiting KMB medium this strain inhibited the growth of Pythium ultimum, Pyricularia oryzae, Rhizoctonia solani and Xanthomonas oryzae. Cucumber seeds were coated with the strain ps88 and were grown in green house soil. Forty days after the seed emergence, disease incidence caused by Fusarium oxysporium was reduced up to 50%. When the cucumber plants were grown in vermiculite, a significant fresh weight was increased. Root development of red pepper plants was also enhanced on MS medium supplemented with siderophore.

  • Bacillus ehimensis YJ-37 was observed as a potential biological agent to control the occurrence of diseases and plant growth.promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Population density of B. ehimensis YJ-37 were higher 1.2~2 times in main roots and lateral roots than from nonrhizosphere soil and persisted around 10$^4$g root on the watermelon and radish root system upto 30 days after growing in pot condition. As a PGPR, B. ehimensis YJ-37 enhanced plant growth of watermelon and radish by soil treatment. The leaf area, hypocotyl length, root length and dry weight of radish were about 85, 33, 23 and 89% more than that of untreated plant, respectively. In case of watermelon were about 63, 27, 25 and 69% more than that of untreated plant, respectively. Biocontrol of damping-off in watermelon and radish caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG-4 and Pythium ultimum were carried out in pots using 3. ehimensis YJ-37. The results showed that might contribute to it's suppression of damping-off disease in field plants.

  • This study evaluated the antifungal activity of varying concentrations of water-soluble extracts from native plants (Vitex rotundifolia, Tetragonia tetragonoides, Artemisia capillaris, Hibiscus hamabo and Ficus carica) against Stemphylium vesicarium, Penicillium italicum, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Pythium ultimum, Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Mycelium growth of pathogenic bacteria generally decreased in a concentration-dependent manner following treatment with the water extracts from donor plants. Closer analyses indicate varying inhibitory capacities depending on the type of donor plant and pathogenic bacteria. Specifically, mycelium growth of S. vesicarium varied depending on the concentration of the water extracts from T. tetragonoides (r = -0.857, p<0.01) and A. capillarys (r = -0.868, p<0.01). Also, P. italicum and V. rotundifolia (r = -0.833, p<0.01), S. sclerotiorum and V. rotundifolia (r = -0.862, p<0.01), A. capillaris (r = -0.902, p<0.01), B. cinerea and T. tetragonoides (r = -0.896, p<0.01) showed an inverse relationship. The rate of mycelial growth inhibition of pathogenic bacteria analysed are as follows: P. ultimum 94%, B. cinerea 50%, C. gloeosporioides 80% in 100% treatment of T. teragonoides. A. capillaris inhibited S. vesicarium by 43%, P. ultimum by 90%; H. hamabo inhibited P. italicum by 50%, S. sclerotiorum by 26%, and F. carica inhibited R. solani by 74%. Total phenol content with antifungal activities are as follows: A. capillaris 16.15 mg/g, F. carica 7.81 mg/g, V. rotundifolia 6.18 mg/g, H. hamabo 5.25 mg/g, T. tetragonoides 4.41 mg/g, and total flavonoid content is as follows: A. capillaris 27.57 mg/g, V. rotundifolia 12.49 mg/g, F. carica 11.45 mg/g, H. hamabo 5.77 mg/g, T. tetragonoides 5.08 mg/g.

  • Microorganisms associated with seed-rhizome rot of gingers preserved in three underground storage caves were identified with respect to rot types. Rot patterns were grouped into 4 different types : yellow soft rot, brown rot, localized ring rot, and water-soaked rot. Water-soaked rot was highest in frequency with 40% and ring rot the least with 14%. Causal pathogens differed with rot type, yellow soft rot by Erwinia carotovora and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, brown rot by Fusarium solani and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, localized ring rot by F. solani, and water-soaked rot by Pythium spinosum and P. ultimum. Pythium myriotylum, the causal pathogen of ginger rhizome rot which occurs severely in fields was rarely detected from storage seed-rhizomes suggesting its minor involvement with storage rot. Pathogenic Pythium isolates were frequently obtained from both rhizome surface and inner tissues of rotten rhizomes. Detection frequency of Pythium isolates in inner tissues decreased as increasing distance from rhizome surface. In wound-inoculation tests, above pathogens caused a varying degree of rot on healthy rhizomes at 15$^{\circ}C$, 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 3$0^{\circ}C$ with increasing severity at higher temperatures.

  • In the course of search antagonistic fungi from soil in green house, four kind of fungi (AF1, AF2, AF3, AF4) were isolated, which have activities against Phytophthora capsici, Botrytis cinera, Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum and Fusarium oxysporum. The AF2 was identified according to the morphological description of Aspergillus terreus. This antagonistic fungus inhibiting various plant pathogens was effective to reduce disease incidence of cucumber seedlings caused by mixed inoculum of Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum and Fusarium oxysporum. Antifungal compound I was isolated and purified by fresh chromatography from A. terreus. The $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ assignment of compound I was achieved from two-dimensional $^1H-^1H\;COSY$, HMQC, HMBC with the add of homonuclear and heteronuclear double resonance experiment. The compound I was identified butyrolactone I (${\alpha}$-oxo-${\beta}$-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-${\gamma}$-(p-hydroxy-m-3,3-dimethyl-allylbenzyl)-${\gamma}$-methoxycarbonyl-${\gamma}$-butyrolactone, $C_{24}H_{24}O_7$, M.W.=424).

  • An antagonistic fungus inhibiting growth of various phytopathogenic fungi was isolated from greenhouse soils and identified. Mophological features of fruiting structures on potato dextrose agar and colorless globose to ovate heavy walled hyaline cells from the vegetative mycelium grown on MY20 agar indicate that this antagonist is Aspergillus terreus. The antagonistic activity is due to the production of antifungal compounds. An antifungal compound was purified from its culture filtrate using chloroform extraction, column chromatography, and thin layer chromatography. The purified antibiotic was effective to various phytopathogenic fungi and identified as butyrolactone I. $ED_{50}$ values measured by petri-plate assay through effective dosage(ED)-probit analysis were 9.7, 13.7, 23.3, 42.6 and 102.7 ppm on Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum, Phytophthora capsici, and Fusarium oxysporum, respectively.

  • Growth rates of the low temperature growing isolates, Pseudomonas fluorescens M45 and MC07, reached maximum stationary phase within 50 hrs at the low temperature, 4$^{\circ}C$. But an ordinary biocontrol agent P. putida Pf3 did not reach logarithmic growth phase until 80 hrs. The culture filtrates of M45 and MC07 significantly inhibited the mycelial growths of Pythium ultimum, Rhizoctonia solani and Phytophthora capsici. Detached cotyledons of cucumber grown on Murashige and Skoog agar medium were much enhanced in their growth, compared to those without the filtrates. Population densities of M45 and MC07 in the rhizosphere at 14$^{\circ}C$ were more stable than at 27$^{\circ}C$. When M45 and MC07 were treated into soil, the population density of MC07 continuously increased up to 9 days after treatment, and sustained the initial inoculum density up to 60 days. Cucumber damping-offs caused by P. ultimum and R. solani were significantly reduced by applying M45 as seed-inoculant and by soil treatment with MC07. The combined treatment of M45 and MC07 provided greater effect in reducing the disease incidence than that obtained by single treatments.

  • Cultivation of a biocontrol agent on a certain medium often results in reduced biocontrol efficacy and alters physiological state. In our previous study, Burkholderia gladioli strain B543 with long-term subculture on tryptic soy agar resulted in significantly reduced biocontrol ability against cucumber damping-off caused by P. ultimum. Therefore, we investigated the influence of laboratory culturing media on biocontrol activity and physiological state of Burkholderia gladioli strain B543 by using long-term repeated culture on a certain medium. When isolate B543 were successionally cultured on King's B agar (KBA), tryptic soy agar, nutrient agar (NA), or soil extract agar more than 20 times, the isolate cultured on KBA or NA showed a significantly enhanced biocontrol efficacy and higher population density in the rhizosphere of cucumber compared to that of the others. However, the isolates cultured on KBA more than 20 times showed the lowest production of protease, siderophore, or antifungal substance(s), measured by skim milk agar, Chrome-Azurol-S agar, and potato dextrose agar amended with 10% of the culture filtrate, respectively. Our results suggest that adaptation to proper culturing medium can alter biocontrol ability and physiological state, and we must consider laboratory media in optimizing the use of biocontrol agents.

  • An antagonistic bacterium, Pseudomonas flurorescens MC07 inhibited the mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum, Fusarium oxysporum, and Phytophthora capsici in on potato dextrose agan (PDA) and other media. The strain MC07 conlonizes various plant roots and possesses antifungal activity. To determine the role of antifungal activity of the bacterium in disease suppression, a mutant Okm3-4 which lost its activity was isolated after screening 2,500 colonies generated by Omegon-Km insertions. The mutant Okm3-4 showed diminished growth inhibition of R. solani, P. ultimum, F. oxysporum, and Ph. capsici in vitro and had reduced suppressive effects on sesame damping.-off compared to the parental strain. In soils, accumulation of the pathogens by continuous cropping, 90% of sesame plants were killed by natural infection of damping-off whereas, only 29% of plants grown from seeds treated with MC07 were killed. On the other hand, 85% of plants died when sesame seeds were treated with the Okm3-4 cells. This indicated that antifungal activity of MC07 in vitro is directly responsible for the suppression of damping-off disease. Emergence rates of sesame seeds in pots containing diseased soil were 33%. However, MC07 treatments on seeds significantly improved emergence rates, which has similar effects of Benomyl treatment. The mutant Okm3-4 exhibited 53% of emergence rate. This indicated that antifungal activity of MC07 also affects the emergence rate of sesame seeds.
