Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of microorganisms, and particularly relates to a Streptomyces annulus and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Vegetable root-knot nematode disease (commonly known as "tumor disease") caused by root-knot nematode is a common disease in vegetable planting. In recent years, with the continuous expansion of the area of greenhouse vegetable planting, a suitable environment has been created for the breeding and spread of the disease, leading to more and more serious damage, especially in the continuous cropping of greenhouse cucumbers, tomatoes, celery and other crops, with annual economic losses of tens of billions of yuan. At present, the prevention and control of the disease is still mainly based on chemical methods, and common agents include abamectin, dazomet and the like. Although such chemical agents can effectively kill root-knot nematodes, they have many drawbacks: they can affect the safety and food quality of vegetables, pollute soil and water resources, destroy the ecological balance, and restrict the continuous cropping of vegetables and lead to yield reduction. With the increasing demand for the development of green, safe and efficient agriculture, more and more chemical pesticides are prohibited for use in vegetable production, and safe and efficient biological control technology for vegetable root-knot nematodes has therefore attracted increasing attention.

[0003] Actinomycetes have been a research hotspot because they can produce a large number of secondary metabolites (such as enzymes, hormones, antibiotics, etc.) with commercial value. However, with the deepening of research on the extraction of natural products from common environmental microorganisms, the discovery of new species and new compounds has become increasingly difficult.

[0004] Due to the diversity of insect habitats and diets, insects carry a large number of related microorganisms; different insects and their symbiotic actinomycetes have formed diverse interaction relationships and unique systems through long-term evolution. Therefore, insect symbiotic actinomycetes are gradually becoming an important resource for exploring new strains of high-activity actinomycetes, and showing broad application prospects in the field of agricultural biological control. SUMMARY

[0022] Example 2. Effect of crude extract of Streptomyces sp. T.C. 20 strain metabolism on killing of southern root-knot nematodes 1. Preparation of nematodes for testing The southern root-knot nematodes used in the experiment were collected from the greenhouse of the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The southern root-knot nematodes were taken out from the roots of naturally infected pepper plants, washed gently with water, and the egg masses were removed from the surface of the roots, disinfected in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite for 3 min, then washed with sterile water for 3 times, placed in a culture dish containing a small amount of sterile water, and incubated in a 28°C incubator. The hatched second instar larvae of the root-knot nematodes were collected and suspended in sterile water for experimental study.

Determination of the effect of the crude extract of Streptomyces anulatus T.C.20 strain metabolites on killing southern root-knot nematodes The crude extract obtained by fermentation of T.C.20 strain was dissolved in methanol to form a mother liquor at 20 mg / mL. In a 96-well sterile cell culture plate, 5 μL of the crude extract mother liquor was added to each well, and 5 μL of methanol was used as a control. Then, 95 μL of nematode suspension (about 100 nematodes) was added to the treatment and control, respectively, to make the final concentration 1 mg / mL and the total volume 100 μL. The plate was incubated in a 28°C incubator for 24 h. The death of root-knot nematodes was observed, and the corrected mortality was calculated, which was the nematocidal effect. Each test was repeated three times, and the nematocidal effect is shown in Table 1.

[0026] Example 3. Pot experiment for preventing and treating cucumber root-knot nematode disease by Streptomyces anulatus T.C.20 1. Preparation of nematodes and fermentation broth of Streptomyces anulatus T.C.20 for the experiment Preparation of root-knot nematode: Southern root-knot nematodes used in the test were collected from the greenhouse of the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The southern root-knot nematodes were taken from the roots of naturally infected pepper plants, washed gently with water, and the egg masses were removed from the surface of the roots. The egg masses were then disinfected in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite for 3 minutes, washed with sterile water for 3 times, and placed in a culture dish containing a small amount of sterile water. The culture dish was incubated in a 28°C incubator, and the hatched second instar juveniles were collected after 24-48 hours and suspended in sterile water for use in the test.

[0027] Preparation of fermentation broth: The T.C.20 strain of Streptomyces anulatus was inoculated into ISP3 liquid medium at 5%, and the seed liquid was cultured aseptically at 28°C for 7 days on a shaker to obtain the fermentation broth.

[0028] ISP3 liquid medium: oat meal 20.0 g, NaCl 1.0 g, FeSO4·7H2O 0.001 g, MnCl2·4H2O 0.001 g, ZnSO4·7H2O 0.001 g, and water to 1 L.

[0029] 2. Effect test of T.C.20 strain of Streptomyces anulatus fermentation broth on the control of potted cucumber root-knot nematode disease The seeds of Zhongnong No. 6 cucumber were disinfected with 1% sodium hypochlorite, and after germination, they were sown in sterilized soil (vermiculite: substrate soil = 1:2). When the first true leaf emerged, the seedlings were transplanted into 7 cm*7 cm*10 cm plastic pots with sterilized soil (vermiculite: substrate soil = 1:2). When the Zhongnong No. 6 cucumber seedlings grew to two true leaves, three 1000 μL blue gun heads were inserted evenly into the pots. The experimental group was irrigated with 10 mL of T.C.20 strain of Streptomyces anulatus fermentation broth; the positive control group was irrigated with 10 mL of abamectin solution (0.18 mg / mL); and the negative control group was irrigated with 10 mL of sterile water. After 48 hours of irrigation, the blue gun heads in the pots were removed, and 150 μl of nematode suspension containing 100 southern root-knot nematodes was injected into each hole, with a total of 300 nematodes per pot, and the gun hole was then covered with substrate soil. After 30 days, the investigation was conducted, with 10 repetitions per group, and three independent repeated tests were conducted. The control effect is shown in Tables 2, 3, 4 and Figure 2 .

[0030] Control effect calculation formula: ; Root-knot index calculation formula: root-knot index = number of root knots / fresh weight of roots; Table 2 Effect of the first potted test

[0031] Note: Different lowercase letters in the same column indicate significant differences between treatments (Tukey's test, P<0.05).

[0033] Note: Different lower case letters after the same column data indicate significant differences between treatments (Tukey's test, P < 0.05).

[0035] Note: Different lower case letters after the same column data indicate significant differences between treatments (Tukey's test, P < 0.05).

[0036] From the experiment, it can be seen that the pot experiment clearly shows the biocontrol effect of T.C.20 strain on cucumber root-knot nematode disease. The results show that the average number of root-knots on cucumber seedlings in the sterile water control group is 83.3 per plant, and the average root-knot index is 5.13 (the average value of root-knot index in Tables 2-4). The average number of root-knots on pot-grown cucumber seedlings treated with Streptomyces lydicus T.C.20 fermentation broth is 27.7 per plant, and the average root-knot index is 1.32, with an average control effect on root-knot nematodes of 67.6%. This shows that Streptomyces lydicus T.C.20 can significantly reduce the number of root-knots on cucumber seedlings and effectively control cucumber root-knot nematode disease. In addition, the average number of root-knots on cucumber seedlings treated with the pesticide avermectin is as low as 13.73 per plant, with the best control effect on root-knot nematodes. However, according to the Chinese pesticide toxicity classification standard, avermectin is a high-toxicity insecticide with high toxicity to fish and other species, and improper use will directly endanger human health. In comparison, Streptomyces lydicus T.C.20 is derived from natural habitats and has the characteristics of high efficiency and safety, and has important value in the prevention and control of root-knot nematode disease in agricultural production.
