Abstract

Streptomyces sp. bacteria have the potential to produce antibiotic compounds, which are one of the mechanisms that are widely used in biological control. However, in general, biological control mechanisms also occur through competition, cell wall degradation and induced resistance. This study was aimed to determine the physiological, biochemical and molecular characteristics of two isolates of Streptomyces sp. (S-4 and S16 isolates) isolated from the tomatoes roots, and to find out their ability to control Ralstonia solanacearum, which causes bacterial wilt disease on a wide range of hosts. The results showed both Streptomyces sp. isolates had several different physiological and biochemical characteristics and had a different ability to inhibit R. solanacearum in vitro. Streptomyces sp. S-16 isolate had a high similarity with Streptomyces diastaticus subsp. ardesiacus strain NRRL B-1773T based on the molecular identification results. Further research needs to be done to see the potential inhibition of the two Streptomyces isolates in inhibiting the development of bacterial wilt disease in tomato plants caused by R. solanacearum.

Abstract

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a pathogenic bacterium that induces bacterial leaf blight in rice. This disease is challenging to treat due to the presence of multiple pathotypes that can harm the plants. Characterizing and determining the distribution of pathotypes and genetic diversity of Xoo in the Special Region of Yogyakarta is essential for evaluating the appropriate approach to managing rice leaf blight in different districts of Yogyakarta. This study aimed to ascertain the characterization, distribution of pathotypes, and genetic diversity of Xoo in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study involved the isolation and characterization of Xoo from various rice production centers in Yogyakarta. The distribution of Xoo pathotypes was determined using five differential varieties (Tetep (4251), PB 5 (4827), Java 14 (11022), Kencana Bali (4477), and Kuntulan (1529)). Pathogenicity testing was conducted on six common varieties used by Yogyakarta farmers (IR64, Ciherang, C4, Mekongga, Menthik Wangi, and Inpari 42). Additionally, molecular characterization of Xoo was performed. The bacterial leaf blight that affects rice plants in the Yogyakarta region, caused by Xoo, is identified by yellow circular colonies. It exhibits a negative Gram staining response, positive catalase activity, negative oxidase activity, and does not hydrolyse starch. The Xoo pathotypes identified in Yogyakarta are IV, VIII, and XI. All six prevalent cultivars utilized by farmers in Yogyakarta are susceptible to Xoo. Out of each pathotype, four isolates were chosen, and they were divided into two distinct groups based on the DNA banding pattern they formed. Among these isolates, three had the lowest base sequence at 200 bp, while one isolate had a different DNA banding pattern with the lowest base sequence between 250–300 bp.
