Abstract

In order to investigating the effects of antifungal activity of intestinal bacteria obtained from insect, it was identified these bacteria isolated from the gut. In this result, total 49 isolates of intestinal bacteria were identified from 10 kinds of insect species. It was that 4 isolates including Cedecea sp. from Nesidiocoris tenuis, 3 isolates including Enterobacter sp. from Odontotaenius disjunctus, 4 isolates including Acinetobacter sp. from Reticulitermes speratus, 4 isolates including Clavibacter sp. from Riptortus clavatus, 11 isolates including Bacillus sp. from Lema decempunctata, 3 isolates including Enterococcus sp. from Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata 2 isolates including Staphylococccus sp. from Harmonia axyridis, 5 isolates including Enterobacter asburiae from Popillia mutans, 7 isolates including Aeromonas sp. from Hydrophilus acuminatus, and 7 isolates including Brucella sp. from Anomala octiescostata. In order to investigating antifungal activity against plant-pathogenic fungi, Altanaria solani, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani and Selerotinia sclerotiorum were dual cultured with each 49 gut enterobacteriaceae. As these results showed that many isolates have the antifungal activities including 26 isolates against A. solani, 6 isolates against B. cinerea, 13 isolates against C. gloeosporioides, 11 isolates against F. oxysporum, 17 isolates P. capsici, 2 isolates against R. solani and 2 isolates against S. sclerotiorum. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was showed strong antifungal activity against all of tested plant pathogens. It might be taken a potential for application against plant-pathogenic fungi with useful control agent.
