Characterization and Biocontrol Efficacy of Bacillus velezensis GYUN-1190 against Apple Bitter Rot.

ABSTRACT: The application of synthetic fungicides has resulted in environmental pollution and adverse effects on non-target species. To reduce the use of agrochemicals, crop disease management requires microbial biological control agents. Bacillus-related genera produce secondary metabolites to control fungal pathogens. Bacillus velezensis GYUN-1190, isolated from soil, showed antagonistic activity against Colletotrichum fructicola, the apple anthracnose pathogen. Volatile organic compounds and culture filtrate (CF) from GYUN-1190 inhibited C. fructicola growth in vitro, by 80.9% and 30.25%, respectively. The CF of GYUN-1190 inhibited pathogen spore germination more than cell suspensions at 10 8 cfu/ml. Furthermore, GYUN-1190 CF is effective in inhibiting C. fructicola mycelial growth in vitro, and
