Whole Genome Sequencing and Biocontrol Potential of Streptomyces luteireticuli ASG80 Against Phytophthora Diseases

-induced crop diseases, commonly known as "plant plagues", pose a significant threat to global food security. In this study, strain ASG80 was isolated from sisal roots and demonstrated a broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against several species and fungal pathogens. Strain ASG80 was identified as via phylogenetic analysis, digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), and average nucleotide identity (ANI). Whole-genome sequencing identified 40 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) related to secondary metabolite production, including antimicrobial compounds. Strain ASG80 extract exhibited broad-spectrum inhibitory activity against , , , and . Pot experiments showed that strain ASG80 extract significantly reduced sisal zebra disease incidence, with an efficacy comparable to the fungicide metalaxyl. These findings suggest that strain ASG80 is a promising biocontrol agent with substantial potential for managing Phytophthora-related diseases in agriculture.
