ABSTRACT

A gram-negative bacterium was isolated from spent substrate of Agaricus bisporus and showed marked antagonistic activity against Pseudomonas tolaasii. The bacterium was identified as Pseudomonas azotoformans by based on the cultural, biochemical and physiological characteristics, and 16S rRNA gene sequence. The isolated bacterium was saprophytic but not parasitic nor pathogenic to cultivation mushroom. The isolated bacterium for P. tolaasii cell was not sufficient for inhibition in vitro. Control efficacy of Pseudomonas azotoformans HC5 to brown blotch of P. tolaasii was 73, 78, and 71% on A. bisporus, Flammulina velutipes, and Pleurotus ostreatus, respectively. In the future, the suppressive bacterium may be useful for development of a biocontrol system.
