In several researches
it was found that earthworms are protected from the infective effects of many
pathogen microorganisms, with which they live together, by their strong immune
systems and secreted fluids; in addition, vermicompost, their coelomic fluid and
mucus are effective against certain bacteria. In this study, Disk Diffusion,
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration
(MBC) tests were applied to determine the activities of the extracts obtained
from coelom-mucus fluids of Eisenia fetida type earthworm against seven
pathogenic bacteria causing diseases in plants. 
At the end of the study, zone diameters of the coelom-mucus fluids
obtained from earthworms were measured to be between 8-54 mm, whereas their MIC
and MBC values
varied between 0.06-0.5 mg/mL and 0.25-2 mg/mL, respectively. The
findings showed that antibacterial activity of coelom-mucus fluids obtained from E. fetida type earthworms on
plant pathogens is remarkable. This study is expected to enlighten
future studies investigating antimicrobial effects, structure and activity
mechanisms of the isolates and extracts obtained from E. fetida and other types of earthworm.

Toprak solucanlarının, birçok patojen
mikroorganizma ile birlikte yaşarken bunların enfektif etkilerinden güçlü immun
sistemleri ve salgıladıkları sekresyonlarla korunabildikleri, ayrıca
vermikompost, sölom ve mukus sıvılarının bazı patojen bakterilere karşı etkili
oldukları yapılan çeşitli araştırmalarla saptanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, E.
fetida türü toprak solucanlarının sölom-mukus sıvılarından elde edilen
ekstraktların, bitkilerde hastalıklara neden olan yedi adet toprak kaynaklı
patojen bakteriye karşı etkinliklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla Minimum
İnhibisyon Konsantrasyon (MIC) ve Minimum Bakterisidal Konsantrasyon (MBC)
testleri uygulanmıştır. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre, toprak solucanlarından elde
edilen sölom ve mukus sıvılarının çalışılan bakterilere karşı zon çapları 8-54
mm arasında ölçülürken, MIC değerleri 0.06-0.5 mg/mL, MBC değerleri ise 0.25-2
mg/mL arasında bulunmuştur. Bulgular E.fetida
türü toprak solucanlarından elde edilen sölom- mukus sıvılarının bitki
patojenleri üzerinde antibakteriyel aktivitelerinin dikkate değer olduğunu
göstermektedir. Yapılan bu çalışmanın, E. fetida’dan ve diğer toprak
solucanı türlerinden elde edilecek izolat ve ekstraktların antimikrobiyal
etkinliklerinin, yapılarının ve etki mekanizmalarının araştırıldığı diğer
çalışmalara ışık tutması beklenmektedir.
