Abstract
Actinomycetes due to their unique repertoire of antimicrobial secondary metabolites can be an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to agrochemicals to control plant pathogens. In the present study, antifungal activity of twenty different actinomycetes was evaluated via dual culture plate assay against six different phytopathogens, viz., Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, Sarocladium oryzae, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Rhizoctonia solani. Two potential isolates, Streptomyces amritsarensis V31 and Kribella karoonensis MSCA185 showing high antifungal activity against all six fungal pathogens, were further evaluated after extraction of bioactive metabolites in different solvents. Metabolite extracted from S. amritsarensis V31 in different solvents inhibited Rhizoctonia solani (7.5–65%), Alternaria alternata (5.5–52.7%), Aspergillus flavus (8–30.7%), Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (25–44%), Sarocladium oryzae (11–55.5%), and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (29.7–40.5%); 1000 D diluted methanolic extract of S. amritsarensis V31 showed growth inhibition against R. solani (23.3%), A. flavus (7.7%), F. oxysporum (22.2%), S. oryzae (16.7%), and S. sclerotiorum (19.0%). Metabolite extracts of S. amritsarensis V31 significantly reduced the incidence of rice sheath blight both as preventive and curative sprays. Chemical profiling of the metabolites in DMSO extract of S. amritsarensis V31 revealed 6-amino-5-nitrosopyrimidine-2,4-diol as the predominant compound present. It was evident from the LC–MS analyses that S. amritsarensis V31 produced a mixture of potential antifungal compounds which inhibited the growth of different phytopathogenic fungi. The results of this study indicated that metabolite extracts of S. amritsarensis V31 can be exploited as a bio-fungicide to control phytopathogenic fungi.
