Strains of Bradyrhizobium from tropical forage legumes inhibit Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 in vitro

Strains of Bradyrhizobium from tropical forage legumes inhibit Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 in vitro Fifteen strains of Bradyrhizobium from the Centro Intemacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) collection were screened for their antifungal activities on nutrient agar plates. In vitro tests show that Bradyrhizobium can inhibit mycelial growth, reduce or prevent sclerotial formation, and inhibit sclerotial ‘germination’ in Rhizoctonia solani AG-1. In addition, cell-free culture filtrates of three strains of Bradyrhizobium had inhibitory effects on the growth of the bacteria Escherichia coli DH5α and Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli CIAT 555. This is the first demonstration of funga/bacterial inhibitory activities of strains of Bradyrhizobium isolated from tropical forage legumes. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australasian Plant Pathology Springer Journals

Abstract

Fifteen strains of Bradyrhizobium from the Centro Intemacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) collection were screened for their antifungal activities on nutrient agar plates. In vitro tests show that Bradyrhizobium can inhibit mycelial growth, reduce or prevent sclerotial formation, and inhibit sclerotial ‘germination’ in Rhizoctonia solani AG-1. In addition, cell-free culture filtrates of three strains of Bradyrhizobium had inhibitory effects on the growth of the bacteria Escherichia coli DH5α and Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli CIAT 555. This is the first demonstration of funga/bacterial inhibitory activities of strains of Bradyrhizobium isolated from tropical forage legumes.
