Determination of Antagonistic Activities of Endophytic Bacteria Isolated from Different Wheat Genotypes Against Fusarium culmorum

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the physiological and biochemical properties and enzyme activities of endophytic bacteria obtained from different wheat genotypes, as well as their effectiveness against Fusarium culmorum, which causes root and crown rot in wheat. The results obtained from double culture tests of isolates against F. culmorum showed that the inhibition rate varied between 80.56% and 13.90%. The inhibition rate against F. culmorum was 80.59% for Bacillus subtilis (MM11), 69.41% for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (EY5), and 61.10% for Enterobacter sp. (MY3) under in vitro conditions, the most effective isolates. Pseudomonas putida (EM9) and Pseudomonas orientalis (MM21) isolates gave positive results in all tests in the production of amylase, cellulase, phosphatase, ACC deaminase, and siderophore. To identify six promising isolates, 16S rRNA gene-based sequence analysis was utilized. The efficacy of bacterial strains against F. culmorum, pot experiments were conducted in a growth room (in vivo). The results demonstrated that the combination of S. maltophilia, Enterobacter sp., and B. subtilis (MY3+EY5+MM11) yielded the most favorable outcomes in terms of disease severity, plant height, wet weight, dry weight, root wet weight, and root dry weight. The combination of Stenotrophomonas rhizophila, P. putida, and P. orientalis (EY1+EM9+MM21) exhibited promising results. Utilizing effective bacterial strains is anticipated to reduce the dependence on and costs associated with chemical fertilizers and pesticides while minimizing their environmental impact. Furthermore, these strains show potential for commercial applications pending further validation procedures. The findings from this study significantly contribute to the field of biological control strategies against F. culmorum by leveraging the diverse capabilities of endophytic bacteria.
