Abstract

BACKGROUND: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum and Rhizoctonia solani AG-4 are the two most important fungal pathogens causing soil-borne fungal diseases of cucumber; they are difficult to control and cause serious economic losses. Given the detrimental effects of the indiscriminate use of chemical fungicides, biocontrol emerges as an efficient and ecofriendly alternative for managing soil-borne fungal diseases. RESULTS: Streptomyces lydicus JCK-6019 (hereafter, JCK-6019) was isolated from rhizosphere soil. Its fermentation filtrate and volatile organic compounds exhibited broad-spectrum antifungal activity against various phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes. JCK-6019 produced natamycin as an agar-diffusible antifungal metabolite. It also produced indole-3-acetic acid and various hydrolytic enzymes. In vivo experiments revealed that a ten-fold-diluted optimized JCK-6019 fermentation broth exhibited 100% control efficiency against cucumber damping-off disease and 62.5% control efficiency against cucumber Fusarium wilt disease. Pretreatment of cucumber seedlings with 1000-fold-diluted optimized JCK-6019 fermentation broth resulted in 68.18% and 23.91% disease control values against cucumber damping-off and Fusarium wilt disease, respectively. Moreover, peroxidase activity in cucumbers after 1 day of treatment was 1.5-fold higher than that in the control. Similarly, polyphenol oxidase activity in cucumbers after 3 days of treatment was 2.34-fold higher than that in the control, indicating that JCK-6019 can induce plant resistance. CONCLUSION: The natamycin-producing strain JCK-6019 could effectively suppress the development of cucumber Fusarium wilt and damping-off disease by inducing plant resistance and producing antifungal metabolites, including natamycin and volatile organic compounds. Thus, JCK-6019 possesses high potential for application in the development of biocontrol agents against soil-borne fungal diseases of cucumber. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
