<i>Streptomyces</i>-Based Bioformulation to Control Wilt of <i>Morchella sextelata</i> Caused by <i>Pestalotiopsis trachicarpicola</i>.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, there has been extensive documentation of pathogenic fungi infecting Morchella sextelata. However, investigations of microorganisms with antagonistic properties against these pathogens are limited. This study successfully isolated two isolates of the genus Streptomyces (F16 and F19) from the rhizosphere soil of M. sextelata fruiting bodies, both of which exhibit potent antagonistic activity against Pestalotiopsis trachicarpicola, the causative agent of M. sextelata wilt disease. Comprehensive characterization, including physiological-biochemical tests and 16S rDNA sequence analysis, led to the identification of these isolates as Streptomyces sp. F16 and Streptomyces sp. F19. Both isolates significantly inhibited P. trachi
