Pomegranate wilt is a soil-borne disease relatively difficult to prevent. In this study, actinomycetes with strong antagonistic activity against pomegranate wilt pathogen were separated and screened from the soil samples collected from Yunnan Mengzi Wanmu Pomegranate Garden and Jianshui Pomegranate Garden. The indoor bacteriostatic radius of strain MZ12 against pomegranate wilt pathogen was 11 mm while the indoor bacteriostatic radius of strain MZ1 against pomegranate wilt pathogen was 7.25 mm. Combined with the characteristics, morphological observation and 16S rDNA sequence analysis of the two strains on identification medium, MZ12 was initially identified as Streptomyces cinnamonensis, and MZ1 as Streptomyces fulvissimus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
