Abstract
Abstract BACKGROUND Biocontrol is a promising strategy in the control of rice blast disease. In the present study, we isolated and characterized a novel antagonist to the pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae from rice endophytic actinomycetes. RESULTS Out of 482 endophytic actinomycetes isolated from rice blast infected and healthy rice, Streptomyces endus OsiSh ‐2 exhibited remarkable in vitro antagonistic activity. Scanning electron microscopy observations of M. oryzae treated by OsiSh ‐2 revealed significant morphological alterations in hyphae. In 2‐year field tests, the spraying of OsiSh ‐2 spore solution (10 7 spores mL −1 ) is capable of reducing rice blast disease severity by 59.64%. In addition, a fermentation broth of OsiSh ‐2 and its cell‐free filtrates could inhibit the growth of M. oryzae , suggesting the presence of active enzymes and secondary metabolites. OsiSh ‐2 tested positive for polyketide synthase‐I and nonribosomal peptide synthetase genes and can produce cellulase, protease, gelatinase, siderophore, indole‐3‐acetic acid and 1‐amino‐cyclopropane‐1‐carboxylate deaminase. A preliminary separation indicated that the methanol extract of OsiSh ‐2 could suppress the growth of pathogens. The major active component was identified as nigericin. CONCLUSION Endophytic S. endus OsiSh ‐2 has potential as a biocontrol agent against rice blast in agriculture. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry
