Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural biocontrol technology. More specifically, it relates to Burkholderia pyrrole, a bacterium for controlling plant nematodes, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Agriculture is a crucial foundation for human development. Plant nematode diseases are plant diseases caused by the invasion and parasitism of plant nematodes. Affected plants can suffer from impaired growth and development due to the nematodes absorbing nutrients from their bodies; the secretions produced during the nematode's metabolism can also irritate the host plant's cells and tissues, leading to plant deformities, reduced yields, and decreased quality of agricultural products. Seriously damaging plant nematodes in China include root-knot nematodes and pine wood nematodes.

[0003] Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are highly specialized omnivorous plant pathogenic nematodes belonging to the genus *Meloidogyne* in the family Rhizoctoniaceae, superfamily Rhizoctoniaceae, order Rhizoctonia. Root-knot nematode disease, caused by these nematodes, has become one of the most important diseases affecting crops. They have a wide host range, infecting over 5,500 plant species, including numerous agricultural and economic crops such as rice, peanuts, and soybeans, as well as over 30 major vegetables such as solanaceous vegetables, legumes, radishes, carrots, lettuce, and cabbage, and major fruits such as melons, grapes, citrus fruits, bananas, and dragon fruit. Root-knot nematodes are very small, difficult to see with the naked eye, and can survive for up to a year without a host, making them difficult to control. They are one of the most important plant pathogenic nematodes, causing agricultural losses of up to $70 billion annually and reducing crop yields by more than 30%. Among them, the most widespread and economically damaging are the bean root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne enterolobii), the grass-like root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne graminicola), and the southern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita). For example, the bean root-knot nematode is widely distributed globally and can parasitize a variety of plants, including ornamental plants, economic crops, wild plants, and weeds. After infecting plants, it affects crop yield and quality, and in severe cases, causes crops to wither and die, resulting in serious economic losses.

[0004] The pine wilt nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) is a devastating forest disease that causes the death of large numbers of pine trees. Often referred to as the "cancer of pine trees," it is a major invasive alien species in China, characterized by multiple transmission routes, hidden infection sites, rapid onset, long incubation period, and difficulty in control. Since its discovery in 1982, it has caused serious damage to China's pine forest resources, natural landscapes, and ecological environment, resulting in severe economic and ecological losses. It has been listed as a quarantine pest for forest plants both domestically and internationally in China.

[0005] Currently, commonly used nematicides are mainly chemical agents such as abamectin and thiazophos. However, due to the increasing environmental pollution, population growth, and frequent food safety issues, agricultural production faces numerous challenges. Green agriculture and sustainable development have become the themes of agricultural production transformation. While using traditional chemical pesticides and fertilizers to control pests and diseases and increase crop yields can increase grain production to a certain extent, the misuse and abuse of chemical pesticides not only cause agricultural product quality and safety problems but also pose serious risks to human health and the ecological environment, such as harming human health, water and soil pollution, destroying biodiversity, and inducing pesticide resistance in pests.

[0006] Therefore, finding an efficient, green, and safe alternative to pesticide nematicides is an urgent priority for agricultural production. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention aims to explore superior microbial strains with broad-spectrum activity against plant nematodes, providing new microbial strains for green and safe nematicides. Research using Burkholderia BX1 in this invention shows that this bacterium has strong lethal toxic activity against the second-instar larvae of various common plant nematodes, such as root-knot nematodes and pine wood nematodes, and also promotes growth in plants such as peppers and tomatoes. These results are of great significance for enriching the resources of biocontrol bacteria for plant nematodes and for developing nematicidal microbial pesticides or fertilizers.

[0078] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way.

[0079] Unless otherwise specified, the reagents, methods and equipment used in this invention are conventional reagents, methods and equipment in this technical field.

[0080] Unless otherwise specified, all reagents and materials used in the following examples are commercially available.

[0081] The nematodes used in the following examples, namely Meloidogyne enterolobii, Meloidogyne graminicola, Meloidogyne incognita, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, and Aphelenchoides fragariae, were collected, identified, and preserved by the Nematode Research Laboratory of South China Agricultural University.

[0082] Example 1: Isolation and Identification of Burkholderia pyrrole BX1

[0083] 1. Separation

[0084] Soil samples: Rhizosphere soil from healthy tobacco plants in Mashi Town, Shixing County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province.

[0085] Methods: Soil samples were added to sterile water at a concentration of 10 g / L and incubated at 180 rpm for 30 min to obtain a soil suspension. The supernatant was collected by centrifugation. The supernatant was plated onto NA plates and purified by stepwise streak plating to obtain single colonies. Round, light yellow, opaque, smooth, glossy single colonies with regular edges (recorded as strain BX1) were selected and inoculated into NB liquid medium. The culture was carried out at 28℃ and 180 rpm for 24 h. The purified single colony was then stored in glycerol at -80℃.

[0086] 2. Identification

[0087] (1) Morphological identification

[0088] Strawberry strain BX1 was streaked onto beef extract peptone agar (NA medium) and incubated upside down at 28°C for 48 hours. Colony shape, color, and edge morphology were photographed and recorded. Gram staining was performed on bacteria BX1 to observe their morphology.

[0089] Strain BX1 was Gram-negative, rod-shaped, with single-ended flagella, and a cell size of (2.23–4.38) μm × (0.78–1.48) μm, with an average length of 3.34 ± 0.514 μm. After culturing on NA agar plates for 48 h, strain BX1 formed colonies with a diameter of 1–2 mm. The colonies were round, pale yellow, opaque, smooth, glossy, with regular edges, and did not produce fluorescence. Figure 1 ).

[0090] (2) Identification of physiological and biochemical characteristics

[0091] The physiological and biochemical characteristics of strain BX1, including carbon source utilization, oxidase assay, and catalase assay, were determined according to Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria and the methods described by Han Chao and Liu Aixin (2012), as follows:

[0092] (1) Carbon source utilization test: The utilization of glucose, maltose, L-arabinose, L-rhamnose and D-xylose by strain BX1 was determined. Glucose and other single carbon sources (concentration of 1%) were added to the basic solid culture medium. 5 μL of bacterial solution was inoculated in the center of the different carbon source culture media and incubated upside down in a 28℃ incubator for 2-3 days. The bacterial growth was recorded.

[0093] (2) Oxidase test: Moisten sterile filter paper with a 1% dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine aqueous solution (do not over-wet), and use an inoculation loop to pick up a single colony of BX1 and smear it onto the moistened filter paper. If the bacterial growth turns red, the test is positive; if it does not turn red, the test is negative.

[0094] (3) Catalase test: Pick a single colony of strain BX1 with an inoculation loop and smear it on a glass slide with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Observe whether bubbles are produced. If bubbles are produced, the test is positive; if no bubbles are produced, the test is negative.

[0095] (4) Citrate test: Pick a single colony of strain BX1 with an inoculation loop and place it into a 2 mL centrifuge tube containing citrate identification culture medium. Incubate at 28°C and 200 rpm for 2–3 days. Then add 2–3 drops of 0.04% phenol red solution to the centrifuge tube. If the culture medium turns red, the test is positive; if the solution does not turn red, the test is negative.

[0096] (5) Malonic acid utilization test: Pick a single colony of strain BX1 with an inoculation loop and place it into a 2 mL centrifuge tube containing malonic acid identification culture medium. Incubate at 28°C and 200 r / min for 2–3 days. If the culture medium changes from green to blue, the test is positive; if the culture medium does not change color, the test is negative.

[0097] (6) Nitrate reduction test: Pick a single colony of strain BX1 with an inoculation loop and put it into a 2mL centrifuge tube containing nitrate liquid culture medium. Incubate at 28℃ and shake at 200r / min for 2 days. Add Griess reagent A and B to the culture medium. If the culture medium turns pink, rose red, orange, or brown, it indicates that nitrite is present, indicating that the strain has the ability to produce nitrate reductase, and the test is positive. If there is no color change, add 1-2 drops of diphenylamine reagent. If the culture medium turns blue, it indicates that there is still nitrate in the culture medium but no nitrite, indicating that the strain does not have the ability to produce nitrate reductase, and the test is negative.

[0098] (7) Methyl red test: Pick a single colony of strain BX1 with an inoculation loop and place it into a 2 mL centrifuge tube containing methyl red culture medium. Incubate at 28°C with shaking at 200 rpm for 2–3 days. Then add a few drops of methyl red solution to the culture medium and observe whether the culture medium turns red. If the culture medium turns red, the result is positive; if it does not turn red, the result is negative.

[0099] (8) VP test: Pick a single colony of strain BX1 with an inoculation loop and place it into a 2 mL centrifuge tube containing methyl red culture medium. Incubate at 28°C with shaking at 200 rpm for 2–3 days. Then, take a small amount of culture medium and mix it with an equal volume of 40% NaOH. Next, add a small amount of creatine and shake vigorously. Observe the color of the solution after 15 minutes. If the culture medium turns red, the test is positive; if the culture medium does not turn red, the test is negative.

[0100] (9) H2S production test: Take 5 μL of bacterial culture and inoculate it in the center of a specific culture medium. Invert the medium and incubate at 28℃ for 2-3 days. Take a picture and observe whether the area around the colony turns black. If it turns black, hydrogen sulfide is produced, and the test is positive; if it does not turn black, no hydrogen sulfide is produced, and the test is negative.

[0101] (10) Amylase production capacity: Take 5 μL of bacterial culture and inoculate it in the center of a specific culture medium. Invert the medium and incubate at 28℃ for 2-3 days. Then add iodine solution to the culture dish to detect whether a clear zone is formed. If a clear zone appears, it indicates that the strain has the ability to decompose starch, and the test is positive; if no clear zone appears, the test is negative.

[0102] (11) Gelatin liquefaction test: Use an inoculation needle to pick up strain BX1 into a test tube containing gelatin culture medium, and incubate at 4℃ for different times (7d, 14d, 28d) to observe whether the gelatin liquefies. If the gelatin in the test tube is liquid, it indicates that the strain has the ability to liquefy gelatin, and the test is positive; if the gelatin is solid, it indicates that the strain does not have the ability to liquefy gelatin, and the test is negative.

[0103] (12) Growth ability at 42℃: Take 5 μL of bacterial solution and inoculate it in the center of NA medium, then invert the medium and incubate at 42℃ for 2-3 days. If the strain can grow, the test is positive; if the strain cannot grow, the test is negative.

[0104] The results showed that the physiological and biochemical characteristics of strain BX1 were consistent with those of Burkholderia pyrrole described in Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria and the physiological and biochemical characteristics of Burkholderia pyrrole strain A12 reported by Han Chao and Liu Aixin (2012) (Table).

[0108] Note: In the second and third columns of the table, "+" indicates a positive test result, and "-" indicates a negative test result. In the fourth column of the table, "+" indicates that more than 90% of the isolates are positive; "V" indicates that 10% to 90% of the strains are positive; "-" indicates that less than 10% of the strains are positive; and " / " indicates no result.

[0109] (3) Molecular biological identification

[0110] Strawberry strain BX1 was activated by streaking in beef extract peptone liquid medium (NA medium), and single colonies were picked.

[0111] PCR amplification was performed using the universal primer pair 27F (5'-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3') / 1492R (5'-GGTTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3') for amplifying bacterial 16S rRNA, and the specific primer pair BCR1-F (5'-TGACCGCCGAGAAGAGCAA-3') / BCR1-R (5'-CTCTTCTTCGTCCATCGCCTC-3') for amplifying the Burkholderia recA gene. The amplification reaction system is shown in Table 2 and the reaction procedure is shown in Table 3.

[0112] The PCR products were detected by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and the target fragment was recovered using a DNA recovery kit from Beijing Tiangen Biotech Co., Ltd., and then sent to Guangzhou Tianyi Huiyuan Gene Co., Ltd. for sequencing.

[0113] The 16S rRNA and recA gene sequences obtained from sequencing were BLAST aligned in the GenBank database. Using MEGA 5.0 software, a Burkholderia phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the 16S rRNA and recA gene sequences using the Neighbor-Joining Tree (NJ) method.

[0114] Table 2. PCR amplification reaction system of 16S rRNA and recA gene of strain BX1

[0115]

[0116] Table 3 PCR amplification reaction procedure

[0117]

[0118] Using strain BX1 as a template, PCR amplification was performed using primers for amplifying the 16S rRNA and recA genes. The amplification products were approximately 1500 bp and 700 bp in size, respectively. Figure 2Further sequencing revealed that the 16S rRNA and recA genes of strain BX1 were 1494 bp and 704 bp in size, respectively. BLAST alignment of the sequenced data with the NCBI database showed that the 16S rRNA had the highest similarity (99.93%) to the 16S rRNA of *Burkholderia pyrrocinia* (accession number: CP150850); the recA had the highest similarity (99.43%) to the recA of *Burkholderia pyrrocinia* (accession number: CP150849). A phylogenetic tree was further constructed... Figure 3 Both phylogenetic trees showed that strain BX1 formed a monolineage with Burkholderia pyrrole.

[0119] In summary, based on the morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and molecular biological results, strain BX1 was identified as Burkholderia pyrrocinia and deposited on April 22, 2025, at the Guangdong Provincial Microbial Culture Collection Center (Address: 5th Floor, Building 59, No. 100 Xianlie Middle Road, Guangzhou), with accession number GDMCC NO.66191.

[0120] Example 2: Lethal effect of Burkholderia pyrrole BX1 on plant nematodes

[0121] The lethality of Burkholderia pyrrolobii BX1 against plant nematodes was tested, using Meloidogyne enterolobii as a representative example.

[0122] 1. Testing Method

[0123] Add 900 μL of fermentation filtrate of strain BX1 or blank NB culture medium (as control CK) to 100 μL of *Ixodes stolonifera* root-knot nematode solution (approximately 60 nematodes), and soak at room temperature for 24 h and 48 h. The number of dead nematodes is then counted. A nematode is considered dead only when it is in a rigid state and completely inactive when punctured with a needle. The formulas for calculating nematode mortality rate and corrected mortality rate (Fang Zhongda, 1998) are as follows:

[0124] Mortality rate = (Number of dead nematodes / Total number of nematodes) × 100%

[0125] Corrected mortality rate = (treatment mortality rate - control mortality rate) / (1 - control mortality rate) × 100%

[0126] 2. Test results are as follows Figure 4

[0127] Figure 4The images show the lethal effect of the fermentation filtrate of strain BX1 on *Burkholderia pyrrole* root-knot nematode (a is the morphology of nematodes after treatment with the control culture medium, and b is the morphology of nematodes after treatment with the fermentation filtrate of strain BX1). This indicates that *Burkholderia pyrrole* BX1 has a strong lethal effect on plant nematodes, represented by *Burkholderia pyrrole* root-knot nematode.

[0128] Example 3: Optimization of optimal fermentation conditions for Burkholderia pyrrole BX1

[0129] Using *Burkholderia pyrophora* root-knot nematodes as the test organism, the 24-h and 48-h corrected mortality rates of *Burkholderia pyrophora* BX1 filtrate after treatment were used as indicators of the amount of nematicidal substances produced by BX1. A single-factor method was employed to optimize the optimal fermentation conditions for the production of nematicidal active substances by *Burkholderia pyrophora* BX1. 900 μL of fermentation filtrate was added to 100 μL of *Burkholderia pyrophora* root-knot nematode solution (approximately 60 nematodes). NB culture medium was used as the control (CK), and each treatment was repeated three times. The nematode mortality criterion was: the nematode was in a rigid state; if it did not move when poked with a needle, it was considered dead.

[0130] Mortality rate = (Number of dead nematodes / Total number of nematodes) × 100%

[0131] Corrected mortality rate = (treatment mortality rate - control mortality rate) / (1 - control mortality rate) × 100%

[0132] I. Preparation of *Burkholderia pyrrole* BX1 seed culture

[0133] The strain stored at -80℃ was activated, and a single colony of the activated strain was picked and placed in 20 mL of NB culture medium (3 g beef extract, 10 g peptone, 5 g NaCl, and sterile water to a final volume of 1 L, pH 7.2). The culture was then incubated at 28℃ and 200 r / min for 12 h to obtain the seed culture.

[0134] II. Optimization of fermentation conditions for Burkholderia pyrrole-Holder BX1

[0135] 1. Determining the optimal fermentation time

[0136] 2% seed culture was added to NB medium at pH 7.0 (50 mL in a 150 mL Erlenmeyer flask) and cultured with shaking at 28℃ and 200 rpm for 6 h, 12 h, 18 h, 24 h, 30 h, 36 h, and 42 h, respectively. Fermentation broth from each time point was collected, centrifuged, and filtered. The resulting filtrate was then used to treat *Ixodes macrocarpa* root-knot nematodes. The number of dead nematodes was counted, and the mortality rate and corrected mortality rate were calculated.

[0137] The results show ( Figure 5 The optimal fermentation time for Burkholderia pyrrole Halle BX1 is 36 hours.

[0138] 2. Determining the optimal fermentation temperature

[0139] 2% seed culture was added to NB medium (pH 7.0) at 25℃, 28℃, 31℃, 34℃, and 37℃ (50 mL in a 150 mL Erlenmeyer flask), and cultured at 200 rpm for 36 h with shaking. Fermentation broths from different temperatures were collected, centrifuged, and filtered. The resulting filtrate was then used to treat *Ipomoea aquatica* root-knot nematodes. The number of dead nematodes was counted, and the mortality rate and corrected mortality rate were calculated.

[0140] The results show ( Figure 6 The optimal fermentation temperature for Burkholderia pyrrole Haller BX1 is 28℃.

[0141] 3. Determination of the optimal fermentation speed

[0142] At 28℃, 2% seed culture was placed in NB medium (pH 7.0, 50 mL in a 150 mL Erlenmeyer flask) and cultured with shaking at speeds of 160 r / min, 180 r / min, 200 r / min, 220 r / min, and 240 r / min for 36 h. Fermentation broths at different speeds were collected, centrifuged, and filtered. The resulting filtrate was then used to treat *Ixodes spp.* root-knot nematodes. The number of dead nematodes was counted, and the mortality rate and corrected mortality rate were calculated.

[0143] The results show ( Figure 7 The optimal culture speed for Burkholderia pyrrole Haller BX1 is 220 r / min.

[0144] 4. Determination of the optimal initial pH value

[0145] After inoculating 2% seed culture with NB culture medium at initial pH values ​​of 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0, strain BX1 was cultured at 28℃ and 220 r / min for 36 h. Fermentation broths from different initial pH values ​​were collected, centrifuged, and filtered. The resulting filtrate was then used to treat *Ixodes macrocarpa* root-knot nematodes. The number of nematode deaths was counted, and the mortality rate and corrected mortality rate were calculated.

[0146] The results show ( Figure 8 The optimal initial pH for Burkholderia pyrrole-Holder BX1 culture medium is 8.0.

[0147] 5. Determining the optimal inoculation dosage

[0148] Seed culture of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% was inoculated with NB medium with an initial pH of 8.0, and strain BX1 was cultured at 28℃ and 220 r / min for 36 h. Fermentation broth with different inoculation amounts was collected, centrifuged, and filtered. The resulting fermentation filtrate was then used to treat *Ixodes macrocarpa* root-knot nematodes. The number of nematode deaths was counted, and the mortality rate and corrected mortality rate were calculated.

[0149] The results show ( Figure 9 The inoculum size of Burkholderia pyrrole-Holder BX1 medium did not differ significantly, so 2% was selected for subsequent experiments.

[0150] 6. Determining the optimal combination of beef extract and peptone

[0151] Let beef extract (abbreviated as B) be at 5 levels of 1 g / L, 2 g / L, 3 g / L, 4 g / L and 5 g / L, and peptone (abbreviated as P) be at 4 levels of 5 g / L, 10 g / L, 15 g / L and 20 g / L. These can be combined to form different NB medium formulations, abbreviated as BXPY. For example, B1P5 means that the content of beef extract is 1 g and the content of peptone is 5 g in 1 L of NB medium (the content of NaCl is fixed at 5 g / L under different mediums), and so on.

[0152] BX1 strain was cultured in NB culture medium with an initial pH of 8.0 at a concentration of 2% seed culture at 28℃ and a shaking speed of 220 r / min for 36 h. The fermentation broth was collected, centrifuged, and filtered. The resulting filtrate was then used to treat *Ixodes macrocarpa* root-knot nematodes. The number of dead nematodes was counted, and the mortality rate and corrected mortality rate were calculated.

[0153] The results show ( Figure 10 The optimal combination of beef extract (2 g / L) and peptone (20 g / L) for Burkholderia pyrrole-Holder BX1 medium is abbreviated as B2P20.

[0154] 7. Determining the optimal loading amount

[0155] Using NB culture medium with the optimal combination of B2P20 at an initial pH of 8.0, 25 mL, 50 mL, 75 mL, and 100 mL (150 mL Erlenmeyer flasks) were prepared, respectively. After inoculating with 2% seed culture, strain BX1 was cultured at 28℃ and 220 r / min for 36 h. The fermentation broth was collected, centrifuged, and filtered. The fermentation filtrate was then used to treat *Ixodes macrocarpa* root-knot nematodes. The number of nematode deaths was counted, and the mortality rate and corrected mortality rate were calculated.

[0156] The results show ( Figure 11 The loading of Burkholderia pyrrole-Holder BX1 medium did not differ significantly.

[0157] In summary, the optimal fermentation conditions for *Burkholderia pyroclasticis* BX1 were: 28°C, initial pH 8.0, NB broth (B2P20) containing 2 g / L beef extract and 20 g / L peptone, a fermentation speed of 220 rpm, a 2% inoculum size, a 50 mL (150 mL) Erlenmeyer flask loading, and a fermentation time of 36 h. Under these conditions, the fermentation filtrate of strain BX1 resulted in corrected mortality rates of 95.7% and 97.8% for *Euphorbia milii* root-knot nematodes after treatment for 24 h and 48 h, respectively.

[0158] The Burkholderia pyrrologensis BX1 fermentation broths in the following examples were all prepared using the optimal fermentation conditions described in this example.

[0159] Example 4: Pot experiment on the control of root-knot nematodes in peppers, tomatoes, and beans using Burkholderia pyrrole BX1 fermentation broth and its fermentation filtrate.

[0160] The root-knot nematode of the bean weevil can infect peppers and tomatoes, causing serious diseases. This example uses peppers and tomatoes as model crops in a pot experiment. The fermentation broth of *Burkholderia pyrroloides* BX1, prepared in Example 3, was used. When peppers and tomatoes (pot diameter 12.5 cm) had 4-5 true leaves, 800 second-instar larvae of the bean weevil were inoculated per plant. Ten hours after inoculation, 50 mL of the treatment solution was applied to each treatment group. Three treatment groups were set up, with water as a negative control. Treatment group 1 was treated with the fermentation broth of *Burkholderia pyrroloides* BX1, treatment group 2 was treated with the fermentation filtrate of *Burkholderia pyrroloides* BX1, and treatment group 3 was treated with thiazophos (Zonong, Dezhou Xianglong Biochemical Co., Ltd.; calculated at 750 mL / acre, 14 μL per pot) as a positive control. Eight plants were used in each treatment group. After 30 days of treatment, the number of root knots on plant roots and the number of root nematodes were counted, and the severity of root knots was graded (see table for grading). The root knot index and control effect were then calculated using the following formula. The disease index and control effect for each treatment were calculated; the significance of differences between treatments was analyzed using Duncan's multiple range test with SPSS software.

[0161]

[0162] Table 4 Grading Criteria for Root Knot Severity

[0163]

[0164] The results are as follows Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown, after drenching the roots with fermentation broth and filtrate of strain BX1 for 30 days, the number of root knots and nematode numbers on pepper and tomato roots were significantly reduced compared to the control group. Figure 12It was found that, in chili peppers, the number of root knots and nematodes decreased by 79.1% and 73.1% respectively in the fermentation broth treatment group, by 76.2% in both the root knot and nematode numbers in the fermentation filtrate treatment group, and by 93.0% and 92.7% respectively in the thiazophos treatment group. Figure 14 It was found that in tomatoes, the number of root knots and nematodes decreased by 41.0% and 57.5% in the fermentation broth treatment group, respectively; the number of root knots and nematodes decreased by 31.7% and 50.6% in the fermentation filtrate treatment group, respectively; and the number of root knots and nematodes decreased by 90.5% and 93.6% in the thiazophos treatment group, respectively.

[0165] The severity of root knots was further graded, and the root knot index was calculated. The control effect was calculated using the rate of decrease in the root knot index (Table 5). Figure 13 and Figure 15 Table 5 shows that the fermentation broth and fermentation filtrate had control effects of 58.3% and 50.0% on root-knot nematode disease of pepper and tomato, respectively; and 41.7% and 37.5% on root-knot nematode disease of tomato, respectively. The results indicate that both the fermentation broth and fermentation filtrate of strain BX1 can control root-knot nematode disease in pepper and tomato.

[0166] Table 5. Disease index and control effect of fermentation broth and fermentation filtrate of strain BX1 on peppers and tomatoes.

[0167]

[0168] Example 5: Growth-promoting effect of Burkholderia pyrrole-Holder fermentation broth on peppers and tomatoes.

[0169] Healthy seedlings with two true leaves and uniform growth were selected and transplanted into disposable plastic cups containing 80g of seedling substrate, with one seedling per cup. The experiment included three treatment groups, using OD solutions of different concentrations. 600 =1.0 Burkholderia pyrrole BX1 fermentation broth, OD 600 =3.0 Burkholderia pyrrologensis BX1 fermentation broth and NB culture medium (control group) were used, with 10 plants replicated for each treatment in a completely randomized block design. Plants were cultured under natural light conditions, and 5 mL of the corresponding treatment solution was applied every 6 days. After 28 days of treatment, plant height, aboveground fresh weight, root length, root weight, and the length and width of the largest unfolded leaf were measured. The experiment was conducted in triplicate.

[0170] The effects of pyrrole Burkehold BX1 fermentation broth on pepper growth promotion are as follows: Figure 16 , 17 As shown, compared with watering NB culture medium, watering OD... 600 For 1.0 and OD 600The fermentation broth of strain BX1 (3.0) increased pepper root weight by 30.7% and 39.6%, root length by 12.9% and 13.9%, aboveground fresh weight by 20.9% and 31.6%, plant height by 8.7% and 13.0%, the length of the largest leaf by 9.7% and 24.0%, and the width of the largest leaf by 10.9% and 21.0%.

[0171] The effects of pyrrole Burkehold BX1 fermentation broth on tomato growth promotion are as follows: Figure 18 , 19 As shown, compared with watering NB culture medium, watering OD... 600 For 1.0 and OD 600 The fermentation broth of strain BX1 (concentration 3.0) increased tomato root weight by 18.8% and 40.2%, respectively; root length by 0.7% and 13.6%, respectively; aboveground fresh weight by 24.0% and 29.8%, respectively; plant height by 10.3% and 18.0%, respectively; the length of the largest leaf by 5.2% and 8.9%, respectively; and the width of the largest leaf by 10.9% and 12.7%, respectively. These results indicate that the fermentation broth of strain BX1 promotes the growth of both pepper and tomato plants, and this effect is more pronounced with increasing bacterial concentration.

[0172] Example 6: Nematicidal effect of Burkholderia pyrroloides BX1 fermentation filtrate on *Auricularia auricula-judae* root-knot nematode, *Poaceae* root-knot nematode, *Strombus scabra*, *Pinus wiltii*, and *Hemiberlesia sapiens*.

[0173] BX1 was cultured under the optimal fermentation conditions obtained in Example 3 to obtain fermentation filtrate. 900 μL of the fermentation filtrate was then mixed with 100 μL of a solution containing approximately 60 nematodes (including *Heliotropium indicum* root-knot nematodes, *Poaceae* root-knot nematodes, *Strombus sclerotium*, *Pinus fibrosum*, and *Heliotropium indicum* root-knot nematodes). NB culture medium was used as the control (CK). Each treatment was repeated three times. The criteria for nematode mortality and the calculation of mortality rates and corrected mortality rates were the same as in Example 3.

[0174] The results show ( Figure 20 The 24-hour corrected mortality rates of *Burkholderia pyrrole* BX1 fermentation filtrate against *Auricularia auricula-judae* root-knot nematode, *Poaceae* root-knot nematode, *Strombus scabra*, *Pinus wiltii*, and *Sinus spp.* root-knot nematode were 95.7%, 75.6%, 83.1%, 91.9%, and 93.8%, respectively, while the 48-hour corrected mortality rates were 97.8%, 94.1%, 95.1%, 96.2%, and 99.7%, respectively.

[0175] In summary, this invention optimized the fermentation conditions of strain BX1 using a single-factor method, thereby enhancing its nematicidal activity against *Burkholderia pyrophora* root-knot nematodes. Treatment of pepper and tomato plants with *Burkholderia pyrophora* root-knot nematode disease using the fermentation broth and filtrate of strain BX1 showed good results, and the fermentation broth of strain BX1 promoted the growth of peppers and tomatoes. Furthermore, the fermentation filtrate of strain BX1 exhibited a certain killing effect on *Poaceae* root-knot nematodes, strawberry *Scleroderma*, pine wood nematodes, and southern root-knot nematodes. Therefore, *Burkholderia pyrophora* strain BX1 is a multifunctional and highly efficient biocontrol bacterium with broad application prospects in controlling plant diseases caused by *Burkholderia pyrophora* root-knot nematodes.
