INTRODUCTION

Using of bio-pesticides developed on the basis of micro-organisms or products of their vital activity in modern plant protection technologies is constantly increasing. Depending on the mechanism of action, different microbial preparations are specialized against specific pathogens. Widely used, especially in the greenhouse vegetables are bio-fungicides: Granular Fuzaklin (Fusarium oxisporum var. licopersici); Trihodermin (Trichoderma sp); Poliverzum (Pythium oligandrum) and other. They show a good effect against a number of soil pathogens [2; 4; 6; 12; 14]. Much of microbial preparations have besides direct and indirect effects against pathogens as a result of antagonistic and competitive relations for space and nutrients that occur in microbial communities. The importation of a heterogeneous population of non-pathogenic microorganisms after only a few generations induces dominance over pathogenic and leads to a reduction of their density. Release of biologically active substances in the rhizosphere boost to growth and strengthen the overall plant health [11]. Most of the pathogenic microorganisms to plants live and grow in the soil microcoenosis together with a huge number of their antagonist microorganisms. With a strong antagonistic action against fungal pathogens are different species bacteria from genera: Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Agrobacterium, Streptomyces [8]. They are producers of numerous and various biologically active substances (enzymes, oligopeptides, aminoglycosides, antibiotics, etc.) which can be used for the isolation and establishment of new microbiological preparations completely safe to the environment [18]. The studies at those aspects are few and are not found in the newer literature for the tobacco [3; 7; 8; 9].

The purpose of this study is to make a screening of soil actinomycetes against pathogens of the genus Alternaria by tobacco and to establish the extent of their antagonistic action.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The study was conducted over a period of two years. Laboratory «in vitro» and pot experiments have been made. The primary isolation of actinomycetes was carried out by plating diluted soil suspensions on various culture media, by the method of Koch. For the starting material were selected colonies, which were show antagonistic action against colonies of microscopic fungi. Insulations and rе-insulations of them (different numbers for different models — actinomycetes), on Gauze1 agar were made and they were input in pure culture. The test pathogen (Alternaria spp.) was isolated from diseased tobacco leaves, on Czapek agar and brought to a pure culture through several re-insulations. The isolated strains of actinomycetes were been stored on a slant Gauze1 agar at temperature 4C0. Their recovery was been accomplished by transferring at material (from air-mycelium) in a liquid medium of Gauze1 and culturing at 28C0, for 72h, in the induction of growth of the strain. Purity of microbial cultures was verified through superficial culture by exhausting method of Drigalskij [5]. The recovery and inspection of purity of the test-pathogen (Alternaria spp.) was conducted by the same procedure on Czapek agar.

Experiments «in vitro»

Testing of microbes antagonists — by the method of «test-wells» on agar-Czapek medium by 24-h culture of the pathogen. In each petri-dish has five “test-wells“.The antagonistic effect has been determined by metering the size of the sterile zone [3]. They were made of five replications. The isolation, identification, testing of microorganisms with antagonistic activity and of the pathogen was performed by classical methods accepted in microbiology and phytopathology [1; 3].

Amplification of strains Actinomycetes with the strongest antagonistic effect was performed by preparing inoculum of the appropriate strain. Transferring the mycelium and spores in 5 ml of sterile saline 0.9%, to give a cloudy suspension. The suspensions were introduced into 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks with liquid media of Gauze 1 — 200 ml. They were cultured for 14 days at temperature 28C0 in Shuttle’s apparatus. Multiplication of the test-pathogen (Alternaria spp.) was conducted by the same procedure on Czapek agar.

Morphological characterization of actinomycetes cultures

With the inoculums of actinomycetes strains were made streaks-cultures on solid nutrient media: starch-ammonia agar and oat-agar. They are some of accepted for standards on International Streptomyces project identification (ISP). Mаcrоmorphological characteristic and micro-morphological feature of sporangiophore hyphae of 14 day cultures was made [15; 16; 17]. The characteristic of sporangiophore hyphae is performed by microscopy of roof glass-plate installed into the nutrient media after culture. The color of the aerial and substrate mycelium were determined by the color scale by Tresner-Backus with using key for grouping by Nonomura [10].

Pot experiments

With inoculums from the respective strains were made pot experiments: In containers with non-sterile soil (2kg) sown with tobacco seeds for growing seedlings, inserted inside inoculums of relevant strains antagonists and inoculum of the test-pathogen (Alternaria spp.). Quantities inocula were 150 ml per container. Pot experiments were performed in three replications. Containers with the inoculum of the test-pathogen (Alternaria spp.), and a liquid nutrient media of Gauze 1, to serve for the control. In infected soil were determined quantities of actinomycetes, the total amount of microscopic fungi and quantity of representatives of the genus Alternaria.

Analyses were performed by plating of dilute soil suspensions on starch-ammonia agar for actinomycetes and on Czapek agar for microscopic fungi, by the method of Koch in three replications. They were made in dynamics. Quantities were counted before to inoculation on 0 day, and on 3 day, on 7 day, on 15 day and on 30 day after inoculation, and were calculated as most probable number of cells per g of absolutely dry soil (MPN cells/ g a. d. s.). Belonging at the colonies to genus Alternaria was determined microscopically by the presence of typical for a genus conidiospores.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The following scale for «in vitro» test of antagonist effect of actinomycetes against Alternaria spp. was adopted: 0-10mm no or negligible effect (-/+); 10-20mm weak effect (++); strong fungicidal effect from 20 to 30mm (+++) and more than 30mm — many strong fungicidal effect (++++). In the first year of the study were isolated and tested 40 strains of actinomycetes. Ten strains from these, had been demonstrated strong and very strong fungicidal effect (figure 1). They were stored and in the next year nine were revitalized, by the method described above. Three strains, only retain a very strong fungicidal effect — over 30mm sterile area. These are numbers strains: — SA 05; CzD 06 and Ash 012. With them were made pot experiments and mаcrо- and micro-morphological characteristics for identification to genus. The results of the laboratory test are shown in Table 1.

Makro morphological characterization of the colonies of isolates and mikro-morphological feature of the sporangiophore hyphae showed, that the type of sporangiophores at all three strains were simple and according to the identification of key by Nonomura, the strains refer to the genus Streptomyces (table 2; figure 2). Analyses to determine their physiological-biochemical characteristics for species identification are required.

The results from the pot experiments show a strong increase in the density of actinomycetes in the soil relative to control, at the three strains Streptomyces after introduction of the inocula. The increase was registered after 3rd day with maximum values around 15th day. The highest density was in variant with the introduction of inoculum by strain Ash 012. The differences with control were not statistically proven (Figure 3).

The total quantities of microscopic fungi were decreased after the introduction of inoculums by strains Streptomyces. A very strong decrease was recorded using CzD 06 strain (Fig. 4). Differences with control are statistically proven with 95% confidence (t exp.SA05=2.360; t exp.Ash12=3.049; t exp.CzD06=3.229≥ t5%=2=306).
