Heat the conical flask in a water bath at 80℃ for 20min to kill the nutrient cells. After the sample is allowed to stand for 20min and return to room temperature, perform gradient dilution and take 10 -4 , 10 -5 , 10 -6 100 μL of the diluted sample was spread on LB agar plates, and 3 plates were spread in parallel for each dilution; the plates were left at room temperature for 20 min, and after the bacterial solution was absorbed, they were placed in a constant temperature incubator at 30°C for overnight culture, and the growth of the colonies was observed the next day.

The universal bacterial primer pair was selected: F27 5'-AGA GTT TGA TCC TGG CTC AGG-3', P1541 5'-AAG GAG GTG GTG ATC CAG CCG CA-3'. The reaction conditions were: 94℃ denaturation for 45s, 50℃ annealing for 45s, 72℃ extension for 75s, 50μL reaction system for 30 cycles; PCR products were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the sequence results were obtained by cloning and sequencing.

First, with the center of the culture dish as the center point, cross lines were drawn on the bottom of the culture dish, and the strain activated on the LB medium was inoculated 2.5 cm away from the center point; then, the activated plant pathogenic fungi were punched with a 5mm puncher and inoculated in the center of the PDA medium plate, the culture dish was sealed, and cultured at 28°C until the pathogen control grew to two-thirds of the culture dish, and the radius of the pathogen and the width of the transparent circle formed were counted.

[0029]

[0030] Example 3: Determination of growth-promoting indexes of strain W-107

[0031] First, the strain stored at -80℃ was streaked on LB medium and activated by culturing in a 28℃ incubator for 24h; then the activated strain was inoculated with a bacterial needle in a 250mL conical flask containing 100mL LB liquid medium, and 1mL L-tryptophan was added to the conical flask to make a final concentration of 100μg / mL, and cultured at 28℃ and 180r / min for 5d, with two biological replicates for each strain; 8mL of the strain fermentation broth was taken and centrifuged at 8000r / min and 4℃, and the supernatant was aspirated for quantitative determination of the strain IAA content.

[0032] For the quantitative determination of IAA content, 60 μL of supernatant was aspirated into a 2 mL centrifuge tube, and then 120 μL of Salkowski reagent was added for color development in the dark, and the absorbance of each treatment was measured at 530 nm using a UV spectrophotometer; at the same time, a standard curve of IAA content and absorbance was prepared using a gradient diluted IAA solution (50, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625 and 0 μg / mL), and the IAA production ability of the strain was evaluated based on the standard curve.

[0033] The activated strain was cultured at 28°C for 5 days on an inorganic phosphorus culture medium ((NH4)2SO4 0.5g, NaCl 0.3g, KCl 0.3g, MgSO4·7H2O 0.3g, Ca3(PO4)2 25g, FeSO4·7H2O 0.03g, MnSO4·H2O 0.03g, glucose 10g, PH 7.4-7.6) using the spot inoculation method. The strain's ability to degrade inorganic phosphorus was evaluated based on whether a transparent zone was formed around the strain and the size of the transparent zone.

[0034] The activated strain was cultured in an organophosphorus medium ((NH4)2SO4 0.5g, MgSO4·7H2O0.3g, NaCl 0.3g, KCl 0.3g, CaCO3 3.5g, glucose 10.0g, MnSO4·H2O 0.03g, FeSO4·7H2O0.03g, lecithin 0.2g, agar 17-20g, sterilized at 121℃ and high temperature and high pressure for 25min) at 28℃ for 5 days by using the spot inoculation method. The ability of the strain to degrade organophosphorus was evaluated based on whether a transparent zone was formed around the strain and the size of the transparent zone.

[0035] The activated strain was inoculated on Alek-sandrov medium (5 g glucose, 0.5 g MgSO4·7H2O, 0.0005 g FeCl3, 0.1 g CaCl2, 0.2 g sodium potassium aluminosilicate, 0.2 g Ca3(PO4)2, PH 7.0) by the spot inoculation method and cultured at 28°C for 5 days. The potassium-solubilizing ability of the strain was evaluated based on whether a transparent zone was formed around the strain and the size of the transparent zone.

[0036] The activated strain was inoculated into Ashby medium (nitrogen fixation selective medium) (g / L) by the spot inoculation method: KH2PO4 0.2g, CaCO3 5.0g, MgSO4·7H2O 0.2g, NaCl 0.2g, CaSO4·2H2O 0.1g, mannitol 10.0g, pH 7.4-7.6, agar 17-20g, and sterilized at 121℃ for 25min; the nitrogen fixation ability of the strain was evaluated based on whether a transparent zone was generated around the strain and the size of the transparent zone.

[0037] The activated strain was inoculated on chrome azure culture medium (CAS) using the dot inoculation method. The inoculated plates were cultured at 28°C for 7 days, and the ability of the strain to produce iron carriers was evaluated based on the appearance and size of the yellow halo around the colonies.

[0038] The growth-promoting indexes of the isolated strain W-107, such as IAA production, inorganic phosphorus decomposition, organic phosphorus decomposition, potassium decomposition, nitrogen fixation and iron carrier production, were determined. Figure 3 ), strain W-107 was found to produce 17.65 μg / mL of IAA; it has the ability to produce siderophores (Siderophores) (Table 2, Figure 4 ), but it does not have the ability to decompose inorganic phosphorus (OP), decompose organic phosphorus (IOP), decompose potassium (K) and fix nitrogen (N) (Table 2).

[0041] Example 4: Strain W-107 biofilm formation assay

[0042] A single colony was picked and inoculated into a 250mL conical flask containing 100mL LB liquid culture medium, and cultured overnight at 160rpm / min and 30℃; 200μL LB, LBG (containing 1% glycerol (v / v)), LBM (containing 0.1mM MnSO4) and LBGM (containing 1% glycerol (v / v) and 0.1mM MnSO4) culture media were added to a 16-well plate, 2μL of overnight cultured bacterial solution was gently dripped on the liquid surface of different culture media, and the 16-well plate was cultured at 30℃ for 3d, and the biofilm formation was observed and recorded.

[0043] The results of biofilm determination of strain W-107 showed that the strain could form obvious biofilm in LBGM medium, followed by LBM medium, and no obvious biofilm was formed in LBG and LB medium ( Figure 5 ).

[0044] Example 5: Potted plant protection efficacy of strain W-107 against cucumber wilt

[0045] Cucumber seeds were sown in seedling trays for seedling raising. After one week of seedling raising, they were transplanted into seedling pots, with one seedling per pot. After transplanting, when the cucumbers grew to the 2-leaf and 1-heart stage, the root irrigation method was used for the prevention and efficacy test. The experimental treatments included: 1) inoculation of only 25 mL of cucumber wilt and an equal amount of sterile water (FOC); 2) inoculation of 25 mL of cucumber wilt and an equal amount of bacterial suspension (10 8 CFU / mL) (W-107-FOC); 3) Inoculate only the bacterial suspension (10 8 CFU / mL) (W-107) and 4) inoculated with 25 mL of sterile water (CK); each treatment was repeated 4 times. The disease index, plant height, and fresh weight were counted one month after inoculation, and the control effect was calculated based on the disease index.

[0046] Cucumber wilt disease index:

[0047] Level 0: no symptoms;

[0048] Level 1: Less than 1 / 4 of the leaves of the plant show wilting symptoms, the stem base is asymptomatic, and the plant grows normally;

[0049] Level 2: 1 / 4-1 / 2 of the leaves of the plant show wilting symptoms, and the lower 1 / 2 of the stem base turns brown, and the plant becomes dwarfed;

[0050] Level 3: More than 1 / 2 of the leaves of the plant show wilting symptoms, more than 1 / 2 of the stem base turns brown, and the plant is obviously dwarfed;

[0051] Level 4: The whole plant wilts and dies.

[0052]

[0053] The fermented liquid of strain W-107 has a significant protective effect on cucumber wilt, with a protective effect of 42.27% (Table 3). Compared with the blank control, the chlorophyll content of strain W-107 fermented liquid treatment (23.00) is higher than the chlorophyll content of the control (21.38); the plant height of cucumber plants treated with strain W-107 fermented liquid (60.24cm) is significantly higher than the plant height of the control (42.54cm); the fresh weight of cucumber plants treated with strain W-107 fermented liquid (12.84g) is significantly higher than the fresh weight of blank control cucumber plants (10.06g); the dry weight of cucumber plants treated with strain W-107 fermented liquid (6.40g) is higher than the dry weight of blank control cucumber plants (5.10g). It can be seen that the fermented liquid of strain W-107 has a certain growth-promoting effect on cucumber plants (Table 3).
