Abstract
Large fruiting body fungi, such as Ganoderma lucidum and Pleurotus ostreatus, are known for their health benefits and culinary value. Their ability to inhibit the growth of pathogenic fungi and bacteria in tomato plants has been investigated. Both G. lucidum and P. ostreatus effectively inhibited the growth of Alternaria solani and Botrytis cinerea. Limited inhibition of bacterial growth was also observed, with the greatest effect on Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis under the influence of G. lucidum and on Pseudomonas syringae under P. ostreatus. This is the first report of P. ostreatus antagonistic action against bacterial pathogens of tomato plants. Our research may contribute develop to ecological strategies for controlling tomato plant infections, minimizing their negative environmental and human health effects.
