Tomato seeds were treated with B. subtilis RB14 culture. The concentration of bacterial cells for the treatment was about 10<sup>8</sup> cfu/ml. Treated tomato seeds showed 99% germination index similar to the untreated seeds. Scanning Electron Microscopic observations showed a clear evidence of the presence of B. subtilis RB14 on tomato seed surface. Clear inhibition zone was observed using treated seed in dual plate assay against R. solani K1. B. subtilis RB14 treated seed showed 80% reduction in disease incidence during in vivo plant experiments. B. subtilis RB14 produces lipopeptide antifungal antibiotic iturin A which could suppress R. solani K1. The phenomenon was supported by our observation where we found significant amount of iturin A from the root zone soil of the seed treated plants.展开更多

To un- derstand its mechanism of fungistasis, we extracted crude protein from fermentation broth of the strain HJX1 through ammonium sulfate precipitation, and prelimina- rily studied fungistatic activities at different conditions. The results showed that the crude protein was insensitive to protease K, trypsin or ultraviolet radiation. The fungistatic activity was unchanged when treated in water batch at 40 ℃, 60 ℃, 80 ℃ or 100 ℃ for 30 min, and the fungistatic activity maintained 60% when trea- ted at 121℃ for 30 min.展开更多
