Impact of Trichoderma harzianum Biocontrol Agent on Functional Diversity of Soil Microbial Community in Tobacco Monoculture in Argentina
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Trichoderma harzianum R3P2 biocontrol agent on soil microbial community in tobacco monoculture. To this end, we studied the changes in soil metabolic diversity with cell suspensions methodology using Biolog (Inc., Hayward, CA.) GN2 MicroplatesTM. Principal ® component analysis showed that functional abilities of the soil microbial community in tobacco monoculture were altered by the application of the biocontrol agent. A novel taxonindependent index, Yokoyama CLPP Diversity Index, indicated that control plots had higher bioactivity than treated ones. Even though the introduced biocontrol agent resulted in a lower number of metabolized compounds, absorbance values were much higher for a set of specific compounds in control. Results suggest that the addition of biocontrol agent contributes to stimulate growth of a specific bacterial population shifting the microbial community.

The understanding of the dynamic of soil-borne diseases is related to the microbial composition of the rhizosphere which is the key to progress in the field of biological control. Trichoderma spp. is commonly used as a biological control agent. The use of next generation sequencing approaches and quantitative PCR are two successful approaches to assess the effect of using compost as substrate f...
متن کاملOverexpression of chimeric chitinase42 enhanced antifungal activity of Trichoderma harzianum against Fusarium graminearum
Evidence for the role of chitinases in biocontrol by Trichoderma species has been well documented.Chit42 lacks a chitin–binding domain (ChBD) which is involved in its binding activity to insoluble chitin. The objective of the present study was to enhance antifungal activity of T. harzianum by overexpression of wild type and hybrid forms of Chit42 containing chitin binding domain. To produce chi...
