Role of antibiosis in antagonism of Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. geldanus to Rhizoctonia solani in soil

Abstract: Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. geldanus controlled rhizoctonia root rot of pea in previously sterilized soil if incubated for 2 or more days prior to infesting soil with Rhizoctonia solani and planting. Streptomyces hygroscopicus also reduced saprophytic growth and the population of R. solani in soil. Growth of R. solani was inhibited by geldanamycin, an antibiotic produced by S. hygroscopicus, on nutrient media. Methanol extracts of soils in which the antagonist was incubated for 2 or more days inhibited gro… Show more

“…geldanus, a bacterium that produces the ansamycin antibiotic geldanamycin is able to protect a pea plant (Pisum sativum L.) from fungal attack by Rhizoctonia solani. 171) A symbiotic association between a bacterium and mosses or higher plants raises the question as to the identity of such a microorganism and invokes a possible microorganism/plant coevolution.…”

“…This indicates that antibiotics do indeed act in antagonistic capacities in nature. Rothrock and Gottlieb (1984) presented évidence that the antibiotic geldanamycin is produced in soil by Streptomyces hygroscopicusvar. geldanus, and that the antibiotic accounts for the antagonism of S. hygroscopicus var.…”

“…Streptomyces spp. have been described as rhizosphere-colonizing bacteria and antifungal biocontrol agents useful in controlling fungal root diseases, and able to work in vitro as producers of siderophore and plant growth-promoting hormones (Rothrock and Gottlieb, 1984;Miller et al, 1990). PGPRs are free-living bacteria that have beneficial effects on plants.…”
