Effectiveness of Augmentative Biological Control of Streptomyces griseorubens UAE2 Depends on 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylic Acid Deaminase Activity against Neoscytalidium dimidiatum.

ABSTRACT: To manage stem canker disease on royal poinciana, actinobacterial isolates were used as biological control agents (BCAs) based on their strong in vitro inhibitory effects against Neoscytalidiumdimidiatum. Streptomyces griseorubens UAE2 and Streptomyces wuyuanensis UAE1 had the ability to produce antifungal compounds and cell-wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs). Only S. griseorubens, however, restored the activity of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase (ACCD). In vivo apple fruit bioassay showed that lesion development was successfully constrained by either isolates on fruits inoculated with N. dimidiatum. In our greenhouse and container nursery experiments, S. griseorubens showed almost complete suppression of disease
