Abstract

The limited effectiveness of current plant disease management treatments necessitates the development of new methods for controlling diseases using beneficial microbes. Demanding sustainable agriculture is increasingly highlighted as a biocontrol approach, particularly <i>Streptomyces</i> species known to produce a variety of antibiotic compounds and secondary metabolites. The <i>Streptomyces</i> globisporus SP6C4 strain and <i>Streptomyces</i> sp. S8 have been reported as potent antifungal agents and are gaining attention for improving crop growth in sustainable agriculture. In this study, we investigated the use of <i>Streptomyces</i> species formulations to enhance bacterial growth with nitrogen sources. Specifically, the addition of L-glutamic acid and L-cysteine resulted in earlier sporulation and bacterial growth in <i>Streptomyces</i> strains, respectively. This approach could expand the range of fermentation techniques in agriculture and be useful for controlling plant growth-promoting bacteria.
