Two new strains of Streptomyces with metabolic potential for biological control of pear black spot disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pear black spot is caused by Alternaria tenuissima. It is one of the diseases of concern limiting pear production worldwide. Existing cultivation methods and fungicides are not sufficient to control early blight. Therefore, the aim of this study was to isolate and characterize two strains of Streptomyces and evaluate their potential for biological control of crop diseases caused by Alternaria tenuissima while promoting plant growth. It enriches the resources of biocontrol strains.

Methods

In this study, the genetic background of the strain was elucidated through 16S rRNA gene analysis and multiphase taxonomic identification methods. The metabolic potential of the strain was assessed using a variety of approaches, including antiSMASH, COG, and KEGG databases, RGI t
