Actinomycetes, phytopathogens, antifungal activity, bioactive compounds, fungicides.
Actinomycetes are recognized as able to improve plant growth direct by producing some phytohormones and increasing soil nutrient availability and by indirect mechanisms by producing bioactive compounds against the phytopathogens. Different isolates are obtained from the samples drawn from the rhizospheric plant soil. The isolates are then tested against the two phytopathogenic fungi i.e., Sclerotium rolfsii and Cercosporidium personatum. The isolates if able to inhibit the growth of phytopathogen are then checked for their bioactive compound. Starch and casein proves to be the best carbon and nitrogen source. Based on the morphological and cultural characteristics, the potent strains producing antifungal compound are to be identified and these strains may prove to be the potent source for prodution of agro-based fungicides. The antifungal potential of metabolites produced by soil-borne actinomycetes could be exploited for its future use as an antifungal compound.
