Influences of the biocontrol strain ANTI-8098A, Bacillus cereus on the growth competition between the virulent and avirulent strains of Ralstonia solanacearum
Abstract:The present paper dealt with the growth competition between the virulent strain F-01-V and avirulent strain F-01-A of Ralstonia solanacearum, and the effects of the extracellular substances of bacterial-wilt-disease biocontrol strain ANTI-8098A, Bacillus cereus on the growths of strains F-01-V and F-01-A as well as influences of strain ANTI-8098A on the growth competitions at different temperatures. The results showed that the numbers of strain F-01-V increased with the largest increasing rate of 123.7%, that of strain F-01-A decreased with the largest decreasing rate of 60.7% , when they were separately maintained at temperatures 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 ℃ for 48 h, respectively. While they were in mixing cultures of strain F-01-V and F-01-A for 48 h, the growth of strain F-01-V was inhibited and the growth of strain F-01-A was facilitated. The extracellular substances of strain ANTI-8098A could inhibit the growth of strain F-01-V, but it could facilitate the growth of strain F-01-A. There was a positive correlation be- tween the inhibiting (or the facilitating) rate and temperature. When the mixed cultures were maintai- ned at temperatures at 30 ℃, the ratio values of F-01-V/F-01-A were less than 0.01, which indicated the strain F-01-A were significantly dominated.
