RESUMOEste trabalho teve por objetivo caracterizar os possíveis mecanismos de antagonismo responsáveis pelo biocontrole da murchade-esclerócio e os fatores envolvidos na promoção de crescimento de tomateiro por rizobactérias selecionadas. As rizobactérias foram caracterizadas por meio da utilização de fontes de carbono, perfil de ácidos graxos e sequenciamento do 16S rDNA amplificado, enquanto os mecanismos de biocontrole e promoção do crescimento analisados através de indicadores bioquímicos e bioensaios. As rizobactérias agruparam-se com os gêneros Agrobacterium e Kluyvera. Os resultados indicam que a competição por ferro e antibiose são os possíveis mecanismos responsáveis pela capacidade de biocontrole da murcha-de-esclerócio exercida por essas rizobactérias, assim como a produção de auxinas e a fixação biológica de nitrogênio podem explicar a promoção do crescimento das plantas. Também foram demonstradas limitações do controle biológico, em função da capacidade de competição depender do isolado de Sclerotium rolfsii e, da antibiose, da composição nutricional do meio de crescimento. Palavras-chave: Athelia rolfsii, Sclerotium rolfsii, antibiose, auxinas, controle biológico, fixação biológica de nitrogênio, sideróforos. ABSTRACT Control mechanisms of southern blight and growth promotion on tomato mediated by rhizobacteriaThis study was conducted to elucidate the possible mechanisms responsible for the biocontrol of southern blight and the elements involved in tomato growth promotion by selected rhizobacteria. The rhizobacteria were characterized by carbon source utilization, fatty acid profiles, and 16S rDNA sequencing, while biocontrol mechanisms were investigated using biochemical indicators and bioassays. The rhizobacteria clustered within Agrobacterium and Kluyvera. The results indicated that iron competition and antibiosis are mechanisms that explain the biocontrol capability of southern blight by rhizobacteria. In the same way, auxin production and biological nitrogen fixation can explain growth promotion. Limitations of biological control were demonstrated because the competition capability is strain-specific for Sclerotium rolfsii, and antibiosis depends on the nutritional composition of growth media.
