The present work aims to isolate actinomycete bacteria with antagonistic abilities towards Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of grey mould, from a soil sample collected from the rhizosphere of healthy tomato grove. In vitro direct confrontation led to the isolation of 104 actinomycetes isolates, fifteen isolates have shown a most significant mortality rate of the mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea (>50%). Based on the results of this screening, representative strains were selected to verify their in vivo antagonistic activity on tomato fruits, the reduction of B.cinerea has a percentage ranging from 52.38% to 96.19%. Following these tests, these bacterial strains were morphologically distinct on the basis of spore mass colour, reverse side colour, aerial and substrate mycelial formation and production of diffusible pigment. Furthermore, the actinomycetes isolates were evaluated for its plant growth promoting (PGP) properties and its ability to produce biocontrol related extracellular enzymes viz., amylase, protease, cellulase, chitinase, esterases and lecithinase. This study gives the possibility to develop new ways of protecting cultivated plants while reducing the risks of contamination and environmental pollution.References
