Diversity and chemotaxis of soil bacteria with antifungal activity against Fusarium wilt of banana

Abstract: The chemotactic response of bacteria to root exudates plays an important role in the colonization of bacteria in the rhizosphere. In this study, 420 strains of antifungal bacteria against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) were screened for chemotaxis based on a cheA molecular diagnostic method. A total of 124 strains with antifungal efficiencies of 27.26-67.14 % generated a characteristic band of cheA. The chemotaxis of 97 bacterial strains producing a cheA band was confirmed using the drop assay and swa… Show more

“…1). This genus is widely distributed in the environment and known as an antagonist of soil-borne pathogens, including Fusarium [9][10][11]. Comparing these results with those from our previous DNA-based analyses [7], we found the same patterns/dynamics for all bacterial families and functions detected in both studies (Fig.…”

“…Comparing the contrasting bean cultivars, we found higher activity of taxa affiliated to Paenibacillaceae in the Foxresistant rhizosphere. Several members of this bacterial family are well known for the production of antibiotics with inhibitory activity against phytopathogenic fungi [9]. Within this family, the genus Paenibacillus was found abundantly in the rhizosphere of the Fox-resistant cultivar ( Supplementary Fig.…”

“…Briefly, bacteria were grown in LB medium at 37 °C and 200 rpm. At the log phase (OD600 = 0.4), bacterial cells were harvested and washed three times with MM solution 55, 56 , then resuspended in the same MM solution (OD600 = 0.4). The mixed organic acids (final concentration 120 μmol/L) were added to the swarm plate medium before pouring into the plates.…”

“…Soil microorganisms and soil enzyme activities play important roles in biochemical processes in the rhizosphere ecosystem including nutrient cycling, decomposition of organic matter and suppression of soil-borne pathogens (Li et al 2012). The plant can affect its rhizosphere microbial community by release of root exudates (Kourtev et al 2003).…”
