Bacillus species (BT42) isolated from Coffea arabica L. rhizosphere antagonizes Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Fusarium oxysporum and also exhibits multiple plant growth promoting activity.

ABSTRACT: Colletotrichum and Fusarium species are among pathogenic fungi widely affecting Coffea arabica L., resulting in major yield loss. In the present study, we aimed to isolate bacteria from root rhizosphere of the same plant that is capable of antagonizing Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Fusarium oxysporum as well as promotes plant growth.A total of 42 Bacillus species were isolated, one of the isolates named BT42 showed maximum radial mycelial growth inhibition against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (78%) and Fusarium oxysporum (86%). BT42 increased germination of Coffee arabica L. seeds by 38.89%, decreased disease incidence due to infection of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides to 2.77% and due to infection of Fusarium oxysporum to 0 (p?

Project description:Coffee, the second most traded commodity globally after petroleum and is the most exported cash crop of Ethiopia. However, coffee cultivation faces challenges due to fungal diseases, resulting in significant yield losses. The primary fungal diseases affecting coffee production include coffee berry disease, wilt disease (caused by Gibberella xylarioides), and coffee leaf rust. In this study, we aimed to isolate potentially antagonistic actinomycetes from the root rhizosphere of wild Coffea arabica plants in the Yayo coffee forest biosphere in southwestern Ethiopia. Soil samples were collected from the rhizosphere, and actinomycetes were selectively isolated and identified to the genus level by morphological, physiological, and biochemical characterization. These pure isolates were screened for their antagonistic activity against Gibberella xylarioides in vitro using a dual culturing method. Promising isolates demonstrating strong inhibition of fungal mycelial growth were further investigated through in vivo experiments using coffee seedlings. A total of 82 rhizobacteria were isolated. These isolates' inhibition of fungal mycelial growth varied from 0% to 83.3%. Among them, four isolates MUA26, MUA13, MUA52, and MUA14 demonstrated the highest percentage inhibition of fungal mycelial growth: 83.3%, 80%, 76.67%, and 73.3%, respectively. Seedlings inoculated with MUA13, MUA14, and MUA26 during the challenge inoculations (Rhizobacteria + Gibberella xylarioides) exhibited the lowest disease incidence compared to the infected fungi (P < 0.05). Notably, the seedlings inoculated with MUA26 demonstrated the highest disease control efficiency, reaching 83% (P < 0.05). MUA26 was found to produce extracellular enzymes, including chitinase, protease, and lipase, which acted as inhibitors. In summary, this study highlights that MUA26, among the actinomycete isolates, exhibited significant antagonistic activity against Gibberella xylarioides f.sp. coffea. Its efficacy in controlling coffee wilt disease, both in vitro and in vivo, positions it as a potential bioinoculant for managing coffee wilt disease.

Project description:The limit of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex is defined genetically, based on a strongly supported clade within the Colletotrichum ITS gene tree. All taxa accepted within this clade are morphologically more or less typical of the broadly defined C. gloeosporioides, as it has been applied in the literature for the past 50 years. We accept 22 species plus one subspecies within the C. gloeosporioides complex. These include C. asianum, C. cordylinicola, C. fructicola, C. gloeosporioides, C. horii, C. kahawae subsp. kahawae, C. musae, C. nupharicola, C. psidii, C. siamense, C. theobromicola, C. tropicale, and C. xanthorrhoeae, along with the taxa described here as new, C. aenigma, C. aeschynomenes, C. alatae, C. alienum, C. aotearoa, C. clidemiae, C. kahawae subsp. ciggaro, C. salsolae, and C. ti, plus the nom. nov. C. queenslandicum (for C. gloeosporioides var. minus). All of the taxa are defined genetically on the basis of multi-gene phylogenies. Brief morphological descriptions are provided for species where no modern description is available. Many of the species are unable to be reliably distinguished using ITS, the official barcoding gene for fungi. Particularly problematic are a set of species genetically close to C. musae and another set of species genetically close to C. kahawae, referred to here as the Musae clade and the Kahawae clade, respectively. Each clade contains several species that are phylogenetically well supported in multi-gene analyses, but within the clades branch lengths are short because of the small number of phylogenetically informative characters, and in a few cases individual gene trees are incongruent. Some single genes or combinations of genes, such as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutamine synthetase, can be used to reliably distinguish most taxa and will need to be developed as secondary barcodes for species level identification, which is important because many of these fungi are of biosecurity significance. In addition to the accepted species, notes are provided for names where a possible close relationship with C. gloeosporioides sensu lato has been suggested in the recent literature, along with all subspecific taxa and formae speciales within C. gloeosporioides and its putative teleomorph Glomerella cingulata.Taxonomic noveltiesName replacement - C. queenslandicum B.
