Caracterización e identificación de cepas de los géneros Bacillus, Brevibacillus y Paenibacillus aisladas del suelo con potencialidades para el control biológico de Rhizoctonia solani Kühn
Main Article Content
Abstract
Rhizoctonia solani Kühn es un hongo fitopatógeno que atacan cultivos de importancia económica provocando disminución en el rendimiento de las cosechas. Para su control se aplican funguicidas químicos que deterioran el medio ambiente y encarecen de forma significativa la producción agrícola. El control biológico, mediante el empleo de microorganismos antagonistas constituye una alternativa ecológica para la protección de las plantas y en este sentido el presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo aislar, caracterizar e identificar cepas de Bacillus y otros géneros relacionados con potencialidades para el control biológico de R. solani. Se aislaron las cepas de interés a partir de muestras de suelo mediante dilución y tratamiento térmico. Se determinó el efecto antifúngico de las mismas frente a R. solani mediante enfrentamiento de cultivos duales. Las cepas antagonistas se caracterizaron teniendo en cuenta la producción de enzimas quitinolíticas, metabolitos antifúngicos difusibles y volátiles mediante pruebas de antagonismo in vitro. Las cepas promisorias se identificaron hasta especie empleando pruebas fisiológicas y el minikit API. Se aislaron 85 cepas con características semejantes a las de los géneros Bacillus, Brevibacillus y Paenibacillus. El 20 % de las mismas mostró efecto antagónico frente a R. solani. Todas las cepas antagonistas, excepto dos, produjeron compuestos antifúngicos difusibles que inhibieron en más del 50 % el crecimiento micelial de R. solani. Solo 10 cepas antagonistas produjeron compuestos antifúngicos volátiles y 3 enzimas quitinolíticas. Las cepas consideradas para el control biológico in vivo pertenecen a las especies Bacillus subtilis, Paenibacillus polymyxa, Brevibacillus brevis y Brevibacillus laterosporus.
