Screening of Antagonistic Bacteria against Phytophthora infestans and Its Inhibition Effect

[ Objective ] The paper was to screen bacterial strain with significant antagonistic effect against Phytophthora infestans, so as to provide basis for further development and utilization of antagonistic bacteria to inhibit P. infestans and control potato late bright. [ Method] Plate dual culture and filter paper method were used to determine the inhibition effect of strains in vivo, fermentation broth and bacterial liquid of 61 strains against P. infestans and the resistance-induction effect of SR13-2 strain. [ Result] The inhibition rate of 24 strains among 61 tested strains against mycelial growth of P. infestans was greater than 60%, and the inhibi- tion effect of HT-6 strain was the strongest with the inhibition rate of 89.92%. However, fermentation broth of all tested strains had no significant inhibition effect against P. infestans, while the inhibition effect of bacterial liquid of most strains was significantly higher than strain in vivo; the inhibition effect of $34-1 strain was the strongest with inhibition rate of 91.50%. The bacterial liquid of SR13-2 strain was found to have significant resistance-induction effect with protective rate of 60%. [ Conclusion] The inhibition effect of strains in vivo and fermentation broth of antagonistic strains S34-1 and SR13-2 had no relationship with each other, while bacterial liquid had great application potential in controlling potato late bright.
