Sam-On MFS, Mustafa S, Yusof MT, Mohd Hashim A, Ku Aizuddin KNA. Exploring the Global Trends of Bacillus, Trichoderma and Entomopathogenic Fungi for Pathogen and Pest Control in Chili Cultivation. Saudi J Biol Sci 2024; 31:104046. [PMID: 38983130 PMCID: PMC11231758 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2024.104046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Chili, renowned globally and deeply ingrained in various cultures. Regrettably, the onset of diseases instigated by pests and pathogens has inflicted substantial losses on chili crops, with some farms experiencing complete production decimation. Challenges confronting chili cultivation include threats from pathogenic microbes like Xanthomonas, Fusarium, Phytophthora, Verticillium, Rhizoctonia, Colletotrichium and Viruses, alongside pests such as whiteflies, mites, thrips, aphids, and fruit flies. While conventional farming practices often resort to chemical pesticides to combat these challenges, their utilization poses substantial risks to both human health and the environment. In response to this pressing issue, this review aims to evaluate the potential of microbe-based biological control as eco-friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides for chili cultivation. Biocontrol agents such as Bacillus spp., Trichoderma spp., and entomopathogenic fungi present safer and more environmentally sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides. However, despite the recognised potential of biocontrol agents, research on their efficacy in controlling the array of pests and pathogens affecting chili farming remains limited. This review addresses this gap by evaluating the efficiency of biocontrol agents, drawing insights from existing studies conducted in other crop systems, regarding pest and pathogen management. Notably, an analysis of Scopus publications revealed fewer than 30 publications in 2023 focused on these three microbial agents. Intriguingly, India, as the world's largest chili producer, leads in the number of publications concerning Bacillus spp., Trichoderma spp., and entomopathogenic fungi in chili cultivation. Further research on microbial agents is imperative to mitigate infections and reduce reliance on chemical pesticides for sustainable chili production.

Antagonistic activity of two Bacillus strains against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici ( FOC-1) causing Fusarium wilt and growth promotion activity of chili plant. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1388439. [PMID: 38860216 PMCID: PMC11163047 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1388439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici (Foc) poses a significant position in agriculture that has a negative impact on chili plant in terms of growth, fruit quality, and yield. Biological control is one of the promising strategies to control this pathogen in crops. Chili is considered as one of the most important crops in the Hyderabad region that is affected by Fusarium wilt disease. The pathogen was isolated from the infected samples in the region and was confirmed by morphological characteristics and PCR with a band of 488 bp. The bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere soil of healthy plant and also confirmed by PCR with a band of 1,542 bp.The molecular characterization of the fungal and bacterial strain has shown 99.9% homology with the retrieved sequences of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici and Bacillus subtilis from NCBI. The 1-month-old Ghotki chili plants were inoculated with 1×105 cfu spore/ml-1 suspension and confirmed that the FOC-1 is responsible for chili Fusarium wilt disease. Subsequently, among the 33 screened Bacillus strains, only 11 showed antagonistic activity against F. oxysporum. Out of these, only two strains (AM13 and AM21) have shown maximum antagonistic activity against the pathogen by reducing the infection and promoting growth parameters of chili plants under both in vitro and greenhouse conditions. The study suggested that biological control is the most promising control strategy for the management of Fusarium wilt of chili in the field.

Abstract
Agriculture in the 21st century faces grave challenges to meet the unprecedented food demand of the burgeoning population as well as reduce the ecological footprint for achieving sustainable development goals. The extensive use of harsh synthetic surfactants in pesticides and the agrochemical industry has substantial adverse impacts on the soil and environment due to their toxic and non-biodegradable nature. Biosurfactants derived from plant, animal, and microbial sources can be an eco-friendly alternative to chemical surfactants. Microbes producing biosurfactants play a noteworthy role in biofilm formation, plant pathogen elimination, biodegradation, bioremediation, improving nutrient bioavailability, and can thrive well under stressful environments. Microbial biosurfactants are well suited for heavy metal and organic contaminants remediation in agricultural soil due to their low toxicity, high activity at fluctuating temperatures, biodegradability, and stability over a wide array of environmental conditions. This green technology will improve the agricultural soil quality by increasing the soil flushing efficiency, mobilization, and solubilization of nutrients by forming metal-biosurfactant complexes, and through the dissemination of complex nutrients. Such characteristics help it to play a pivotal role in environmental sustainability in the foreseeable future, which is required to increase the viability of biosurfactants for extensive commercial uses, making them accessible, affordable, and economically sustainable.

Endophytic bacteria isolated from Urtica dioica L.- preliminary screening for enzyme and polyphenols production. Microb Cell Fact 2023; 22:169. [PMID: 37649058 PMCID: PMC10466763 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-023-02167-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Endophytes, especially those isolated from herbal plants, may act as a reservoir of a variety of secondary metabolites exhibiting biological activity. Some endophytes express the ability to produce the same bioactive compounds as their plant hosts, making them a more sustainable industrial supply of these substances. Urtica dioica L. (common stinging nettle) is a synanthropic plant that is widely used in herbal medicine due to the diversity of bioactive chemicals it contains, e.g., polyphenols, which demonstrate anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancerous capabilities. This study aimed at isolating endophytic bacteria from stinging nettles for their bioactive compounds. The endophytic isolates were identified by both biochemical and molecular methods (16S rRNA) and investigated for enzymes, biosurfactants, and polyphenols production. Each of the isolated bacterial strains was capable of producing biosurfactants and polyphenols. However, three of the isolated endophytes, identified as two strains of Bacillus cereus and one strain of Bacillus mycoides, possessed the greatest capacity to produce biosurfactants and polyphenols. The derivatized extracts from culture liquid showed the 1.633 mol l-1 (9.691 mg l-1) concentration of polyphenol compounds. Therefore, the present study signifies that endophytic B. cereus and B. mycoides isolated from Urtica dioica L. could be a potential source of biosurfactants and polyphenols. However, further study is required to understand the mechanism of the process and achieve efficient polyphenol production by endophytic bacteria.
