Lum K.Y., . (1986) Bacteriocins - a potential biocontrol tool against Pseudomonas solanacearum E.F. Smith. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Bacteriocins non-replicating substances of restricted inhibitory spectrum were synthesized by strains of P. solanacearum some of which were active against a wide range of strains from all three races of the pathogen. The potential of avirulent bacteriocin-producing strains as a tool in biological control strategies against the bacterial wilt pathogen was evaluated. P. solanacearum strains from diverse geographical origins were subjected to inhibition assay to determine both their bacteriocin production as well as bacteriocin sensitivity patterns. Results indicated that some strain produce bacteriocins that effectively inhibit a wide range od strains of the pathogen and strains of related origin shara very similar patterns of sensitivity to these bacteriocins as biocontrol tools and the possible incorporation of the application of avirulent mutants into routine crop management practice for wilt-supceptible crops were discussed
