Abstract:

This research aims to identify the types of common contaminating bacteria during plant tissue culture, evaluate the antibacterial effect of bacteriostatic agents on contaminating bacteria, and screen out effective bacteriostatic agents. Taking six bacterial strains of common contaminants in tissue culture room as test materials, they were isolated and purified first, and then were classified and identified through 16S rDNA or ITS sequence homology analysis combined with phylogenetic tree analysis. The antibacterial effects of 5 antibacterial agents on 3 kinds of bacteria were evaluated by the inhibition zone method. The antibacterial effects of 5 antibacterial agents on 3 kinds of fungi were evaluated by the growth rate method. The results showed that Microbacterium paraoxydans, Acinetobacter radioresistens, and Sphingomonas yabuuchiaes were three contaminating bacteria, while Aspergillus versicolor, Cladosporium endophyticum, Aspergillus sydowii were three contaminating fungi. The bacteriostatic test results showed that 0.5 g/L 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one and 0.5 g/L enyl·mangano-zinc had good inhibitory effect on all the 6 tested bacteria; 0.5 mL/L isothiazolinone had good inhibitory effect on Acinetobacter radioresistens XJ-2, Sphingomonas yabuuchiaes XJ-3, Cladosporium endophyticum ZJ-2, Aspergillus sydowii ZJ-3, and Aspergillus versicolor ZJ-1. 0.05 g/L procymidone-thiram could effectively inhibit the growth of the three fungi, and 0.5 g/L procymidone-thiram had inhibitory effect on Microbacterium paraoxydans XJ-1 and Sphingomonas yabuuchiaes XJ-3. Bronopol had almost no inhibitory effect on bacterial growth, while 0.5 g/L bronopol had a certain inhibitory effect on fungi. To sum up, 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, enoyl·manganese zinc and isothiazolinone show strong and broad-spectrum antibacterial effects, and have good application prospects as bacteriostatic agents in controlling plant tissue culture contamination.
