Abstract
We screened for bacteria that may facilitate the suppressive effect on Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum at temperatures < 30 °C after anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) with 1% v/v ethanol. Among 22 isolates grown anaerobically, we selected three that significantly suppressed R. pseudosolanacearum population after ASD at 25 °C. Based on the 16 S rRNA sequences, two isolates were inferred as Paenibacillus polymyxa and the other as Paenibacillus sp. Using qPCR primers designed for these strains, we found that all strains increased in the soil after ASD at 25 °C. After ASD with 1% v/v ethanol and with or without soil inoculation with these three strains in a concrete frame in the field at mean temperature of 26.3 °C, the R. pseudosolanacearum population was significantly lower in the inoculation treatment at a depth of 10 cm. These results suggest that these Paenibacillus strains have the potential to promote the ASD effect using 1% ethanol at low temperatures.
