Exploring Pediococcus sp. M21F004 for Biocontrol of Bacterial and Fungal Phytopathogens.

ABSTRACT: This study explores the biocontrol potential of Pediococcus sp. M21F004, a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from marine environments, against several bacterial and fungal phytopathogens. Out of 50 marine bacterial isolates, Pediococcus sp. M21F004 was selected for its exceptional antimicrobial activity. The strain, isolated from the intestine of a starry flounder, was identified as Pediococcus sp. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed that oleic acid (OA) is a key antimicrobial compound produced by Pediococcus sp. M21F004. In vitro assays showed that the culture broth (CB) of Pediococcus sp. M21F004, as well as OA, exhibited significant inhibitory effects against pathogens such as Fusarium oxysporum, Clarireedia homoe
