Zusammenfassung: | The biocontrol activity and chemical composition of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aureofaciens SPS-41 were investigated. The VOCs inhibited mycelial growth and spore germination in Ceratocystis fimbriata, which causes black rot disease in sweet potato tuber roots (TRs) and showed wide-spectrum antifungal activity against several plant pathogenic fungi. A microscopic examination of C. fimbriata cells suggested morphological changes and a loss of cellular contents. Different inoculation strategies significantly affected the antifungal activity of the VOCs. In the volatile profile of SPS-41, the most abundant compound, 3-methyl-1-butanol, followed by phenylethyl alcohol and 2-methyl-1-butanol showed strong inhibition toward C. fimbriata. The weight loss rate and disease severity of the TRs were significantly reduced in response to the VOCs emitted by SPS-41. The results suggest that the VOCs produced by P. chlororaphis subsp. aureofaciens SPS-41 might constitute an attractive biological fumigant for controlling black rot disease in sweet potato TRs. |
