Oubaha, Brahim Nafis, Ahmed Baz, Mohamed Mauch, Felix Barakate, Mustapha 2018-12-15 Three hundred and fifty‐nine isolates of actinobacteria collected from different Moroccan soils were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against the oomycete pathogen Aphanomyces euteiches, the causal agent of damping‐off of pea and other legumes. Eighty‐seven isolates (24%) had an inhibitory in vitro effect against A. euteiches. Fourteen bioactive isolates with the greatest inhibitory effect against A. euteiches and no inhibitory effect on plant beneficial rhizobia were tested for their ability to protect pea seeds and seedlings against the damping‐off disease using culture supernatants or spore suspensions as treatments. The two most protective isolates, OB21 and BA15, significantly reduced, compared to untreated control plants, damping‐off by 33% and 47%, respectively. The two bioactive isolates were classified as species of the genus Streptomyces based on 16S rDNA analysis and morphological and chemical characteristics. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/307727 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/307727/files/mau_pam.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1111/jph.12775 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Journal of Phytopathology. - 2019, vol. 167, no. 2, p. 82–90 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/57 The potential of antagonistic moroccan Streptomyces isolates for the biological control of damping-off disease of pea (Pisum sativum L.) caused by Aphanomyces euteiches http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
