This invention belongs to the field of
gene technology and discloses a
bacterial strain antagonistic to konjac soft rot and its application. The *
Pseudomonas pallens* strain B07 of this invention exhibits significant antagonistic activity against the
pathogen causing konjac soft rot, with an
inhibition zone diameter of 1.05±0.16 cm. In pot experiments, it reduced the incidence of konjac soft rot by 33.34% and the
disease index by 22.22%. Simultaneously, this strain possesses
plant growth-promoting characteristics such as
phosphorus solubilization,
siderophore production, and
nitrogen fixation. It also shows broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against eight
plant pathogenic fungi, including konjac white mold and *
Amorphophallus bulbifer*
leaf spot, with inhibition rates
ranging from 44.87% to 60.03%. Whole-
genome analysis shows that its
genome contains 14
secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters, providing the molecular basis for its
antibacterial activity. This strain can be applied directly or prepared as a biocontrol agent for the prevention and control of konjac soft rot. It is
environmentally friendly, residue-free, and possesses both
disease prevention and growth-promoting effects, making it of significant industrial value in the green control of konjac diseases.
