Abstract:

The antagonistic strains against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cucumerium were screened from endophytic bacteria of forage grass at alpine grassland in Qinghai Province, and then were identified by morphological characteristics and homology analysis of 16Sr DNA gene sequence, and their biological functions were determined. The results showed that 36 strains of the 81 tested endophytic bacteria strains had antagonistic effects, accounting for 44.0%, and the inhibition rate of 13 strains isolated from the root were all above 50.0%, among which the inhibition rate of 2018GH11 was above 50.0% against 6 genera 8 species of pathogenic fungi, and 67.6% against Fusarium oxysporum. 2018GH11 had a broad spectrum of inhibition, and it was identified as Bacillus siamese by the morphological characteristics and homology analysis of 16Sr DNA gene sequence. 2018GH11 had nitrogen fixation ability, but the ability to produce IAA and solubilize phosphate was not obvious. In pot experiment, when the amount of 2018GH11 was 0.50%, the cucumber height, stem diameter, leaf number, fresh weight and dry weight were increased by 15.33%, 39.40%, 22.22%, 215.99% and 126.70%, respectively, compared with those of the control plants. In summary, the endophytic bacteria 2018GH11 from alpine grassland has a good effect on controlling disease and promoting plant growth, and a great potential for development.
