| Summary: | © 2015, (publisher). All rights reserved. A total of 210 melanogenic actinomycetes were isolated from 75 rhizospheric soils using ISP6 and ISP7 agar supplemented with antifungal and antibacterial agents. Their morphological characteristics and the presence of LL-diaminopimelic acid in whole-cell hydrolyzates revealed that all isolates belonged to the genus Streptomyces. Their ability to inhibit the growth of 2 pathogenic rice bacteria, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola, was observed using the agar overlay method. The results indicated that 61.9% of the isolates could inhibit at least one of the tested rice pathogens. Among these, isolate TY68-3 showed the highest antibacterial activity and siderophore production. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of 46 representative isolates revealed that isolates with high similarity to Streptomyces bungoensis were frequently found. The present study indicated the potential of melanogenic actinomycetes for use as biocontrol agents against X. oryzae as well as their diversity in rhizospheric soils. |
