The Phlorizin-Degrading Bacillus licheniformis XNRB-3 Mediates Soil Microorganisms to Alleviate Apple Replant Disease.

ABSTRACT: In this study, an endophytic phlorizin-degrading Bacillus licheniformis XNRB-3 was isolated from the root tissue of healthy apple trees, and its control effect on apple replant disease (ARD) and how it alleviates the pathogen pressure via changes in soil microbiomes were studied. The addition of strain XNRB-3 in Fusarium infested soils significantly reduced the number of pathogens in the soil, thus resulting in a lower disease incidence, and the relative control effect on Fusarium oxysporum reached the highest of 66.11%. The fermentation broth can also protect the roots of the plants from Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium moniliforme, Fusarium proliferatum, and Fusarium solani infection. These antagonistic effects were further validated using an
