Anti-Foc RT4 Activity of a Newly Isolated Streptomyces sp. 5-10 From a Medicinal Plant (Curculigo capitulata).

ABSTRACT: Fusarium wilt of banana caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) is a disastrous soil-borne fungal disease. Foc tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) can infect almost all banana cultivars. Until now, there is a shortage of safety and effective control methods and commercial banana cultivars with a resistance against Foc TR4. Biocontrol using environmentally friendly microbes is a promising strategy for the management of Foc TR4. Here, a strain 5-10, newly isolated from a medicinal plant (Curculigo capitulata), exhibited a high antifungal activity against Foc TR4. Combing the morphological characteristics and molecular identification, strain 5-10 was classified as a Streptomyces genus. The sequenced genome revealed that more than 39 gene clusters were involved in t
